Tomorrow's Weather Forecast -- Tide Chart

Great Day of Racing!

The thunderstorms held off today, and the winds were 10 to 16 knots over the 4 race courses today. All the scheduled classes (all except the 470 Men and Women, they start tomorrow) got two good races in. See our Results section for mark by mark info and full summaries of today's placings and standings to date for each class. Hats off to our results programmer Paul Pascoe for a brilliant job. And the whole world, apparently, is watching. Our US server recorded 113,000 hits on Monday, over 200,000 and counting today.
