2006 Flying Scot New York District Championship

August 26th with winds out of the Northeast at 10 to 15 with large swells mixed in with some very lumpy seas to make it difficult at times to find a good groove. The swells made for some fun surfing on the downwind legs. The winds built to 20 and shifted right a bit as the day progressed. The race committee mixed it up with two windward leeward courses and a triangle to round out the three race series. It was a good day for sailing and a great day for photos, but not for taking them while sailing.
Thanks for visiting, Dan Neff.

On the First down wind leg Christine and I were rounding just behind Paul-Jon and crew. I couldn't resist taking a picture so I carefully snapped the fleet astern catching Glen Schaffer and Debbie Hoagland on a nice plane.

As I snapped this photo, Christine and I surfed past Paul-Jon into the lead. We held onto the lead for about three quarters of the way up the second beat. Both Paul-Jon and Peter Beam snuck by us.

After Christine and I realized we made a mistake by rounding the wrong leeward mark we with drew from race 3. Conditions were still a bit hairy, but I was able to snap a picture of Peter Beam (5171) and Chris Danilek (5626) fighting it out for rights at the leeward mark. This gives you a good since of the swell.
