It’s official, our buddies German team Polgar and Koy beat more teams today than any Star class team has ever beaten in the 99 year history of the class. More than 140 boats lumbered around the racetrack in just less than 2.5 hours today. At the starting line only a mile from the beach the seabreeze was a solid 8-11 knots but the further upwind away from shore we got the lighter the breeze became. 2.2 miles later it was a measly 4 knots and after 140+ boats cut through probably less wind than that. We rounded mark 1 in about 18th position but were able to slice and dice or way into a very solid position in the top ten.

Couple of shoutouts: first congrats to SDYC for being voted as the host for the 2013 Star World Championships, and secondly congrats to my Georgetown Hoyas for putting 8 new All-Americans on the books after a solid performance in at College Nationals last week, taking A division by storm!
