 LATE Weekend 7 Update - Dave Moorhouse (2074) dominates in the medium wind! Minimize

We missed Sunday's racing due to 20+ knot winds, but if Saturday was any guide, Moorhouse (2074) would have lifted off the water and flew to the marks.  His boatspeed was exceptional Saturday in the gusty 8-14 knot conditions and he banged the start each time; no one could keep up in a straight line and he made few-to-no tactical errors.   Lee Sayler (2201) also had a rock-solid performance over the day with a 3-1, and Jon Pomerleau followed him into 3rd for the day with a few tactical errors, but very solid speed.

It was all about speed; with 17 boats on the line and a left-favored course, getting out fast was the key. Medium gusts made you have to lock in to a fast position used a fair amount of vang/cunningham.  Moorhouse, Sayler and Pomerleau all did this as as the gusts hit, they would squirt forward measurably.
