SAIL22 M24 TUNING REGATTA DAY 2 REPORT

Another great day on the water today for the Sail22 Melges 24 Worlds Tuning Regatta. Conditions were ideal with 18-22knots breeze early and a little lighter late in the day before the breeze built again. We were able to run 5 full races with 2 starts per race and for kicks we threw in another set of starts so teams could race into the harbor. Chris Larson on USA 655 West Marine Rigging/New England Ropes is in first place, with Alan Field’s team on WTF in second, followed by Bill Hardesty on Ask Vince, Peter Lane’s Brickhouse 539, Argyle Campbell’s Rock N Roll, Simon Strauss’ Simplicity, Guy Mossman’s Battle Rhythm, Stuart Simpson’s Team Barbarians, Kristin Lane’s Brickhouse 623 and Rome Kirby’s USA 620 rounding out the top 10. Five races seemed to have worn out a lot of the sailors but there were zero complaints at the debrief as the teams took full advantage of the opportunity to get in lots of practice for the upcoming World Championship. The day ended with a great debrief and Alec Stewart from Velocitek replayed some of the racing from the data collected on the Velocitek’s on the water. Teams contributed to the information about the conditions on the water and Sail22 was able to support teams with giveaways of gear from the sponsors of our event. We look forward to more racing tomorrow as we will aim for 3 to 4 races. Full Results and Photos.
