What a day on the bay!. Close racing in the first race with Team Raven finding some love on the right side of the course to sail to a comfortable win in the fist race. SPY and Torch had a photo finish for second with SPY finishing by inches ahead of Torch for second.
In the Morgan cup race all teams wisely selected to reef and what a ride. We had strong winds, moderator winds, a no visibility squall. Lighting on the horizon. At one point I saw lighting over Lightning. What an eerie sight. There were mishaps all over the course. Mary Ann involved in a protest. Vapor and Raven had to withdrawal due to sail failures. Each boat has its own story to tell but Team Lotus found the left side of the course to be favorable on the first leg and they held their lead to win the Morgan Cup.. The BBYRA wisely choose to shorten the race due to the threatening weather . Spy followed the Lotus around the race course but could not cut into the lead and finished a solid second with team Lightning finishing third. The IHYC Trophy the Morgan Cup was presented to the IHYC Lotus team at a BBQ with IHYC Spy in second and IHYC Lighting in third. A memorable day for the IHYC.
