Windier than it looks.

Racing got off to a great start on Sunday

We were not able to race keelboats on Saturday due to the lack of wind, but on Sunday a warm, fluky wind firmed up as nine boats set out to race, producing a mix of strong gusts and quiet moments, all generally from the Northwest, but varying quite a bit in typical Falcon fashion.

We completed three races:

Women’s Learn to Race

A collaboration with the West Hawk Sailing Club.  A one-week, half-day course for women to improve their sailing skills and learn to race. Taught on single and double-handed sailboats (Laser, Zest). For all girls / women aged 12+. Minimum CANSail 1 or demonstrated equivalent level of sailing skills required. Please see the South Whiteshell Women's Sailing League website at southwhiteshellwomenssailingleague.ca for registration information.

Sat. Sept. 12 Racing

After a cool morning, the sun warmed things up and a gentle breeze appeared to be blowing from the West when we set the course, but winds are never so simple on Falcon… A north wind came in gusts to mix it up with the west gusts, and unfortunately the course was set a little close to the north shore, so the favoured side of the course had dead spots. We ran five short races, each one a unique combination of gusts and quiet moments…

Saturday Sept 5 Racing

Variable winds, mostly from the west and a lovely fall temperature set the stage for races where picking the right side of the course made the difference. Fearing this might be one of the last days suitable for dinghy sailing, we had 5 races:
