The Nyack LAST BLAST! went off with gusto, October 12, 2002! We asked our favorite race committee chairman, Thistle sailor Charlie Green, to 'run as many races as possible.' At the competitors' meeting he was asked, "How many races are you going to try to get in?" And he said, "Well, I'm going to try for 20, but I don't think I'll make it!" And that's how we came to be so tired by dinner time. This five minute starting sequence doesn't give you much time for resting up: it's already time for the next one! In the end, we got in six windward-leeward races, some of them two times around.

The breeze kept it up all day. We had 12 - 20 knots the whole time, from about 30 degrees (more or less!) east of North. There was one capsize, which gave us a chance to take a break and catch our breath while that was sorted out (thanks, Bill!). We had eighteen boats, which was enough to make the event very entertaining.
