Wednesday Night Race Video

Video from the Race Committee boat by Sea Scout Ship 1781 aboard the VICTORY II. This is the leeward mark rounding in the third race of the Spring 2015 Wednesday Night Race Series. Winds were 8-12 knots out of the southeast. The mark is R”24″ on the York River, Virginia and the big smokestack in the background is the Yorktown Power Station. All of the Yellow Fleet (spinnaker) boats were racing, but only four of the Blue Fleet (non-spinnaker) boats participated. Some were still recovering from the big squall that blew through the fleet during the previous week’s race.
