After a day of spectacular wind and 95 races on Friday followed by a classic late summer shifty-turned-beautiful southerly yesterday, the quarterfinal round of the Hinman will likely be sailed in rainy and windy conditions today. After going 9-6 in the opening round robin, Team SDYC was relegated to the middle “silver” group of 6 teams trying to fight their way into the quarterfinal round. Three teams had 9 wins in the opening round, and we lost to one of them placing us in silver. We won all five races in our silver round allowing us to be the top seed from that group in today’s quarter finals taking on the third seed from the gold round robin: One Man Wolfpack with Caleb Silsby, Michael Menninger and Charlie Buckingham driving. We beat those guys in the opening round, but they should be a really fun team to race to see who goes to the semifinals.
Results should be available through the USSailing.org website. I know there are some great videos from the last two days at SailGroove.org.
