波特兰事件回顾
5月25日星期六
The Baker Trophy started off with a wind delay and SailMaine’s Turbo 420’s did not leave
the dock until 1100. However, everyone enjoyed Chris Robinson’s homemade breakfast
sandwiches which made the wind delay a little less painful. The wind started to fill in as 6-8
knot southerly breeze under mostly sunny skies. PRO Ron Hopkins and his crew did a great
job to constantly adjust the course as the breeze shifted to the left and increased to 8-12 knots.
The day ended with two full round robin’s of 66 races completed and racing ending near 1900.
由12支球队组成的船队被分成了金、银、铜三组。
黄金: 安的列斯群岛,基督城,兰森大沼泽地,洛马角
银: 塞文学校,纽波特港高中,塔博尔学院,霍奇基斯学校
铜: Clear Falls High School, Minnetonka, Grosse Point South High School,
Olympia High School

选手们周日上午抵达,遇到了多云的天空。 The breeze built from the south
again but very unstable 4-5 knots after a 1 hour delay. The race committee constantly adjusted
the course to keep it square. Competitors saw races with the wind coming from the south, southeast,
east, north and then back to southeast. Gold Fleet raced a double Championship round and a single
round for Silver and Bronze ending the day with 36 races in challenging conditions.
After starting the event with 2-3, Christchurch got hot and went 11-1 only losing the final race of the
event after having sealed the championship.
