This is unofficial at the time of this point.

For the second race today' seeing how the wind is on the lightr side they runing course six with an upwind finish so the boats will be able to keep going upwind into the beach.

Something I did not mention was the wind is straight off beach coming from the north.

Are the finishes still super-close?

Second race for today was B fleet. The wind was shifty, flooky, and barely there. The direction was al over the place.

The race comitee just reported over the radio they are reading 16kts of breeze from 280. This means the sea breeze is about to kick in.

A fleet is racing next.

Thanks Robi for the updates.

Sadly from what im seeing on the beach, it seriously doesn't look like this so called 16kts of breeze going to stay strong. The wind today has been shifty varying from 2kts to 16kts. Seems like lake sailing right now.

Stay tuned.

For this last race (fleet B) There was going to be a protest. The race comitee was going to protest a team for rounding a mark the wrong way. Luckily the team retired after finishing so this situation never went to hearing.

Fleet A is waiting for the wind to kick in steadily. The key word here is steady.

Here we are again on the water. This time around we are anchored 50 yards upwind of the offset mark. Fleet A is a minute away to start. I will report the teams I recognize.

Stay tuned.

Another boat broke a downhaul.

It unfortunate that team Tomko has an OCS on this race. They have a good standing. We will have to wait and see how this affects their standing.

Stay Tuned.

an OCS is the worst thing that can happen to you in this format.

It gives you 11 points for that race, and bumps you to B fleet, so the best you can get is 11 for the next race.

You get doubly-penalized.

B fleet is on deck. I have not hit the beach yet. So I cannot give you more details on the Tomko OCS.

Thanks for the updates Robi.

And Jake, run them until it gets dark, they came to sail and don't have to drive home at night. The wind here in Sebring came in strong and gusting by 11am, and the sun doesn't set until after 7:45, so let them race at least until 6pm. in the better wind of the late afternoon.

I am finding it VERY difficult to understand the format of this Fleet A and Fleet B thing. Don't they keep mixing them up so everybody gets to sail against everybody else an approximately equal number of times?

Tomko confirmed OCS because he is this fleet B

9 boats sailing one is at the beach. They went right after a capsize.
