It’s the final day of sailing out on The Gorge at Moth Worlds. As we write this blog entry, the fleet is into race fifteen, the final race of the day and the conclusion of a great event.
After a hard day of sailing yesterday, the wind is blowing around 12-15 knots, and the chill is still in the air. Both Brad and Glenn are from warmer temperatures, Florida and Dubai, and they can’t be loving the cool air and chilly water out in Oregon.
The first race of the day saw a left shift and most of the guys played that side- a switch up from what we’ve been seeing over the past few days. As Brad mentioned yesterday, it’s so important to play the shifts right and cut down on costly tacks. We’re not sure how our guys finished so it’s a waiting game until the official results are posted.
After rounding the windward mark, there were different strategies heading downwind. Some guys were playing it safe while others were going for big risk, hoping for big reward. It’s the last day of the event, might as well pull out all the stops.
A win in race fourteen made it official that Bora Gulari will take home the top prize for the Worlds. He sailed his boat fast and made the least mistakes, congratulations Bora.
So we’ll wait a bit longer for more updates, stand by…
