The first day of racing at the US Nationals was a blast furnace: over 102 degrees F/39 degrees C. Direction easterly (unusual in the summer.) Too bad the boys from Dubai couldn't make it, they would have felt right at home.
Results and commentary courtesy of Nige:
Interesting day today, sweet 20kt easterly this morning but we postponed for three hours and headed out just before the wind started dying. Unlucky timing. 3 races in 6-12kts and lots of invisible holes. Bora had a clean sweep but I think I was the only person to beat him to a first mark (he found one of those holes in the last race). The rest are having some tight racing, skill level has definitely increased throughout the fleet since the PCC's.
