| It was a beautiful day on Clear Lake for the Konocti Cup, fears of low wind died out on the way from Bayshore Canvas to the start line as the breeze filled in. Everyone started with big jibs, Kwazy went for an early swim after the jib halyard loop broke but made the start with all sails up. At the start of the first downwind Weckless had a spinnaker issue and dropped back while Kwazy changed down to the small jib. The next couple legs featured Kwazy and Bad trading the lead before Bad took a firm lead at the northmost mark on the course. There was confusion on the way to Mark 5 before the fleet eventually rounded an orange buoy that may or may not have just been someones mooring buoy (Mark 5 later spotted blowing down the lake). Kwazy switched back to the big jib between 6 and 7 for a rare 3 jib day but no one was able to catch Bad before they took the victory with a race time of just over 4 hours. A great day on the lake! |
