The race to Solomons Island marks the mid summer break for Chesapeake Bay J/30 racers. Here's an update of the eleven days of one-design racing so far this season in and around Annapolis.
Racing commenced April 14 with six boats sailing three races run by
Annapolis YC. Avita claimed the day by two points over Rag Doll who edged Insatiable on a tiebreaker.
AYC Spring OD Results In early May Better Mousetrap took home a bag containing Gill tech polos for each crew member after winning the six-race, three-day Annapolis NOOD. Insatiable was four back in second with Bump on the podium in third. Nine boats sailed in a light northerly Friday, a building breeze to the mid teens Saturday that moderated Sunday. The primary feature throughout weekend was a strong ebb current that reached 1.5 knots.
NOOD Results The weekend to race to Gibson Island and subsequent buoy racing on the Magothy River attracted six. The feeder hosted by Gibson Island YS proved too slow to meet the time limit though Rag Doll was close to finishing as time expired. Better Mousetrap had two bullets in Sunday's races on the river hosted by Magothy River SA, with Rag Doll second and Encounter third. Results are pending appeal by OCS boats that were not given credit for restarting.
