This was our first sole one-design regatta in a while at the club. Three sunfish put into the water in very light wind and held a race from the X mark to the B mark by the club. I think the logic was it was better to head back in than paddle all the way back across the lake. The results are below. Apparently David was able to float faster across the line than the others. Congratulations!
