Here is another Team Texas report from Steve Piche:
After a day of no racing, two races were held yesterday at the Hobie Tiger Worlds. High winds once again forced the race committee to start late and end early.
Team Texas had a good day. John Tomko and Ian Billings recorded an 18th and an 11th in the races. Combined with their 2nd place finish in the first race, they are now in 8th place overall. They are only one of two US boats in the top ten! Tough racing boys.
David Mimlitch and Tiffany Tomko recorded 33rd and 65th. They are now in a respectable 51st place. Chris Green and Dave McDaniel are recorded 73rd and 54th and are in 69th place. Given that this is Chris’s first major race, he is doing pretty well against some very tough competition.
Taylor and Mitch Booth of Australia have a solid lead, however, the fleet is very mixed after them.
Today is the last day of racing. Forecast is for heavy winds; however, winds are light this morning.
Good luck Team Texas!
Steve
