Round Two In The Abaco: Snappas Results
RC Laser Regatta Returns to Snappas
Round 2 of the RC Laser Tour of Abaco returned to Snappas in Marsh Harbour. It was a beautiful day after the recent cold snap and a rainy week. Winds were out of the south at about 15 mph, but were off shore, so we had calm waters and were protected from the heavier gusts. But because of the off shore breeze, we had to set a short windward leg and into a coffin corner. Races were won or lost on this first leg. Jim Kaighin returned to form after winning 6 of the 9 races. Randy Key won race 3 and edge out Anders Ljungholm by one point for 2nd. Joey Gale finished 5th overall, but had two 2nd place finishes in his first RC Laser regatta.
Ylva Ljungholm took on solo race committee responsibilities and did a great job. She had some tough calls to make and some close finishes. She recorded two ties that were too close to call. She also took the pictures. Thanks to Snappas for hosting us and thanks to Harbour View Marina for letting us use their dock. The next regatta is in Treasure Cay on Brigantine Bay.
