August 26th with winds out of the Northeast at 10 to 15 with large swells mixed in with some very lumpy seas to make it difficult at times to find a good groove. The swells made for some fun surfing on the downwind legs. The winds built to 20 and shifted right a bit as the day progressed. The race committee mixed it up with two windward leeward courses and a triangle to round out the three race series. It was a good day for sailing and a great day for photos, but not for taking them while sailing. Thanks for visiting, Dan Neff. http://photoboy.smugmug.com/Sailing/Flying-Scot/2006-Flying-Scot-New-York/CRW2084a/90986974_khk2V-Ti-3.jpg http://photoboy.smugmug.com/gallery/1820962_bseYm/ 2009-01-06T12:16:01Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
