Great Oaks Regatta ‘05
Austin Yacht Club and
Southern Yacht Club
The regatta began immediately after
the Skippers meeting with the planting of a “Great” Oak tree in a
ceremony lead by Matt Largess from Kingstown, RI. Matt provided the
tree and the planting was to renew the spirit of the Southern Yacht
Club and all the high school sailing they support.
The University
of Texas and the Austin Yacht Club provided (18) 2005 model FJ’s and
sailing began in a south 15 mph breeze. Skies were partly cloudy
and temperature was mid 80’s. 33 teams from as far away as Hawaii
(3 teams), Maine, Washington State, Florida, Minnesota and every
between competed. The 1st 17 teams sailed one race then
rotated to the 2nd 16 teams. Rotation continued until
the groups sailed 8 races (4 races each). A 9th Race was
held but thrown out to keep selection for Gold and Silver fleets
even since time precluded a 10th race. Wind died through
out the day and varied a lot. Several protest were filed and all but
1 were settled in arbitration. 1 protest was heard and resulted in
DSQ. All were treated to a Chili and Tamale dinner at AYC.
On Sunday 16
teams advanced the Gold Fleet, one retired and the remaining 16
sailed in Silver Fleet. Sunday brought wind challenges to the
racers and the RC as fast moving dry front passed over at noon.
Races began in a stead but light 4-5 mph southwesterly with sunny
skies and mid 80 temperatures. The wind died and filled in new
directions from E to SSE to S to SW to W and back and forth. RC was
quick and started and sailed each race both starting and finishing
with the wind from the same direction although velocity varied a
lot. Mark set boats were exhausted. Several postponements occurred
but in the end each Fleet sailed 4 races. 1 Protest was filed and
resolved in arbitration with a 40% penalty applied.
