Reply to: Juana Good Time Regatta 2013

[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=shipchips1]Please post pics and give us a report.[/quote] Pictures will be coming into the 2013 Juana Good Time album here [url]http://www.thebeachcats.com/pictures/?g2_itemId=8619[/url] If you have photos to share from the regatta then please create your own album inside the 2013 album and upload them. Instructions are in the FAQ and a link in my signature below. It was a great weekend, evidently the Gulf Coast has had a lot of rain this summer, every local mentioned that this was one of the few nice weekends of the season. GREAT TURNOUT! I haven't received the official sailwave info yet but it was pushing 80 entries across all classes. Best participation in years. Unfortunately the regatta founder and namesake, Juana, couldn't be there do to a death in her family. She was really missed and we were all thinking of her. Luckily others pitched in and shifted regatta jobs around to get everything taken care of. We had mild temps and fairly light winds, but plenty to do the full distance race on Saturday and two good windward-leeward races on Sunday. During the distance race on Saturday the winds started very light and it looked like a drifter, we were questioning the wisdom of going all the way down to marker 133 for the spin boats and 131 for the faster non-spin boats, but after the (crazy downwind) start the wind built up and later a large thunderstorm system developed to the north over land bringing quite a bit more wind. Tyler and crew had an adventure where they broke there main on the downwind distance run but stopped at Key Sailing, rigged a new sail, completed the race, then took two bullets on Sunday to take second place. Hopefully he'll share the details.[/quote]
