2002 PHRF of New England Championship
The first day of racing was characterized by a strong northeasterly breeze in the 18 to 25 knot range. Only Lines 1 and 2 raced today.
The second day of racing again saw wind out of the northeast but in the 8 to 12 knot range. Line 3 got three races in so they only have to race one race on Sunday.
Sunday was not a good day for racing. The wind started out as a light northwester. The forecast was for it to back. However, it clocked over 180 degrees. Before the light sea breeze came in the wind speed dropped almost to zero. There were Biblical changes of position with the first becoming last and the last becoming first. Unfortunately several trophies were affected by the erratic conditions.
