US Pan Am Qualifier – Ron Payne Regatta – Day 1

by Carol Cronin 04/05/2019

Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA, April 5, 2019

A tight fleet with 3 races today in 10-12 knots of southeast breeze. The big news was the seaweed, or “vegetables of the sea” as Pietro would say, which was very thick and impossible to dodge. Weedstick technique dominated the after race review with Paul Cronin. 3 more races tomorrow, with an equally nice forecast!

Results after 3 races:

Ernesto Rodriguez & Hallie Shieffman, 3
Peter Commette & Connie Commette, 8
Ramon Gonzalez Bennazar & Tiare Serra, 10
Augie Diaz & Margauz Bacro, 11
Carol Cronin & Jeff Elber, 17
