Thursday, March 11, 2004 - Practice Day

About 30 competitors and 6 R/C boats were out on the water today, getting ready for the start of the 2004 International Masters Championships.

Friday, March 12, 2004 - Race Day 1

Beautiful Easterly Wind stayed at 5-12 knots all day.   71 Boats Registered.
3 Races Run.  BBQ Dinner and Beck's Beer in Ballard Park.  A good time was had by all.

Saturday, March 13, 2004 - Race Day 2

Shifty winds plagued the Race Committee (and the racers) early in the day.  We got one shortened race off between 10 a.m. and 12 noon.  One racer commented "Lots of deep holes out there!"  Then the wind shifted 90 degrees and filled in nicely.  The next 3 races were run in relatively steady conditions, with only minor course-shifting required between races..

After 3 General Recalls in the first 2 races, the R/C hoisted the 'Black Flag'.  Several of the leading competitors got black-flagged in the last 2 races.

Sunday, March 14, 2004 - Race Day 3

Beautiful sailing day.  Steady 10-15kt winds out of the E-ESE, even early in the morning.  Sunshine, warm weather, sailing...it doesn't get any better than this!

The first race of the day went off like clockwork at 10:35.  The second race had one general recall.  But after the R/C put up the Black Flag, everyone behaved themselves and the 2nd start went fine.  Before the start of race #10 for the weekend, all competitors were looking a little tired.  Several had retired due to minor aches and pains and some broken equipment.  The first finisher of Race #3 finished at about 1:30pm, and the R/C called it a day, to allow everyone an early start for home, with plenty of time for awards.
