Conditions Suit Sanderson to a Tee
September 7 was a wonderful day to celebrate the memory of Doug Baxter. Wonderful if you like it hot and without a breeze. Vexing – just like Doug Baxter.
But there were enough zephyrs (named after the Greek god of false promises and broken dreams) and wafts to get three races off before any hint of wind died completely. And true to form in soft conditions, almost everyone found themselves with a lead and a minute later looking at transoms.
Matt Henley and Greg Slakov had the wins and ended up tied with 3 points. Chris Sanderson loved the light conditions which matched his desire not to hike. He stayed close to Matt and Greg and then used his “experience” to win the whole she-bang after age adjustments.
