12th Annual Y-Knot Cup Regatta
Saturday & Sunday, September 10-11, 2011
Canadian sailor Pierre Richard earns his third Y-Knot Cup win in four years. We held three races for each fleet in big breeze on Saturday (12-15 for the gold fleet in the morning, and 15-18 with gusts up to 20 for the silver fleet in the afternoon. Sunday morning saw very calm conditions for the Silver fleet as the wind slowly rotated around to the south. We were able to get off one race in light conditions before lunch, and the breeze built back to the previous day’s strength for the Gold fleet, which sailed two races in 15-20.
