Day 1
It was an ideal day for sailing on Biscayne Bay. The wind was steady at the start of the first race at 10-12 from the north and stayed that way for the entire race. With oscilations of up to 25 degrees on either side of north, it became important to play all of the shifts. Allan led all the way around the course to take the win with Johnny and Megan fighting it out for second place right behind him. In race 2 the wind started to go light and would drop to 6-8 and then go back up to 10-12. The shifts were about the same in the beginning but then started to persistantly go right and the RC moved to the right for the last leg.Allan again took the lead for this race with Charlie and Paul finishing second and third.

Mark Leblanc USA wins the 2011America’s Regatta
The 2011 Americas Regatta was held in St Petersburg, Florida and finished on Sunday December 4th. On the the 3rd day of racing, there were some great breezes and was probably the best 2.4mR racing St. Pete has had in years.
The 1st day was a steady 10-12 knots from the NE. Racing started around 10 and there were 4 good races. Mark LeBlanc did well finishing: 7, 3, 2, and 1. He improved each race, had decent starts and sailed well tactically. He commented that he made a few errors, but was working with his coaches to correct those and move forward.
Day 2 of the racing started out with the wind similar to the day before, but with bigger waves since the wind blew all night. They had had four races and Mark finished 1, 3, 4, and 1. 4 great finishes pushed Mark into 1st place overall by 5 points.
The last day they only had 3 races scheduled and the wind and waves were very similar to the previous 2 days. Mark approached the day with the plan to start each race well and keep track of his 2 closest competitors while sailing fast and smart. In the 3 races he finished 3, 4, and 6. This kept his first place overall winning the regatta by 2 points from his closest competitors. |

How to organize 2.4 sailing
(Information to the web and involved persons. 2011-11-21)
The 2011 2.4mR World Council annual general meeting decided to keep all 2.4 sailing together in one organization, securing development space for the 2.4mR class and all OD attempts to prosper. The Executive Committee has investigated how that decision may be implemented. The ISAF administration has been consulted and has given valuable advice.
The EC has now decided on a sketch, consisting of a strategy statement, the structure of central documents, the forums and some important conditions.

2011 2.4mR Canberra Regatta |

 Canberra Yacht Club, 29-30 October 2011Michael Leydon started the summer with a close win in the Canberra Regatta. Sailed in the confined waters of West Basin, the variable winds gave all competitors a chance to be winners but Michael was always near the front and scored 2½ wins for a score of 6.5 points.
Tight racing became ridiculous when four boats rafted up at the bottom mark in Race 1 when unclear sailing instructions led to a buoy room fight with the outside boat thinking there was a bottom gate. No!
Simon Dunstone joined Michael Leydon and Peter Russell on the winner’s podium with a tied finish to Race 4.
All boats enjoyed the close racing with the scores all close at the end of the series. And the forecast rain largely stayed away! |
