Decent breeze made for a fun first day of racing! Photos by Karen Hirsch
Great day on the water, rounding out a beautiful weekend of sailing on Lake Michigan.
The Columbia Yacht Club hosted the COLORS regatta on June 2-3 in Chicago, Illinois. The racing featured several One Design classes, including Farr 40s, J 111s, T-10s and J 105s. There was also a Distance Race and PHRF racing to complete the fun. Photos courtesy of Tom Besore at TomsMedia.SmugMug.com
The RC44 class visits Lake Traunsee in Austria for match and fleet racing in volatile conditions. After a thunderstorm rolled in during the first day of fleet racing, tactician Michele Ivaldi aboard the Slovenian Team CEEREF said, ****”It was a very tricky day, on the edge of being unpredictable especially in the last race when the wind basically shut down and filled in from the other side. We just had to race head down and work hard with what we had to get the most out of the boat.” [Click her
Perhaps not the most beautiful day on the water, but still got races in. Photos by Jan Anderson / www.janpix.smugmug.com

A very light air day.
At the close of the weekend, Chris Doyle finds him and his crew headed to the B.V.I. for the NOOD Championship in November.
