Wednesday's Child
In theory, if all boats in a Pursuit Race sailed to their respective
ratings, everyone would finish the race at the same time. The theory
almost proved true in Boston Yacht Club's Wednesday's Child Benefit
Regatta sailed on Labor Day, September 3, 2007. With both a racing and
cruising class, the top five finishers in the racing class and the top
six finishers in the cruising class finished the six mile race within
two minutes of each other. For a busy Labor Day Weekend, the turnout
of 28 boats, two of which came from Constitution Yacht Club in Boston
Harbor, was most encouraging. The weather complemented the event with
SW winds of 8 - 15 knots. The course was a broad/beam reach from the
starting line near Marblehead Bell to Newcomb's and a close reach on
the return leg. Halfway rock lay directly on the rhumb line and decisions
(some right and some regretted) whether to leave it to port or starboard
affected the results. Achiever V, Atalanta and Indra were the first
place finishers in the racing class. Akeepah, Ten and Starfire took
the top three places in the cruising class. Results are posted on the
Boston Yacht Club's web site - http://www.bostonyachtclub.net/Racing/WednesdaysChild.htm.
This was the fourth pursuit race in the Mass Bay Pursuit Championship.
With the Great Chase Race (Sept. 14) and the Boston Harbor Islands Regatta
(Sept. 29), both of which register in excess of 100 boats, yet to be
sailed, the outcome is uncertain which boats will finish in the top
three. You can register for the Great Chase Race at http://www.hullyc.org/chase.shtml
and for the Boston Harbor Islands Regatta at http://www.islandalliance.org/regatta.asp.
