Score listings do only a partial job of
describing the exciting racing this year. The wind had been blowing for at
least 4 days consistently. The ocean had swells as high as 5 ft, but they
were gentle and regular. The wind was sufficient to power the catamarans
through the swells and the moderate wind waves. There was a lot of surfing
off the back of waves on reaches across and off the wind. Surfing off the
backs of waves gives ocean racing the adrenaline rush so many cat sailors
thrive on and never get enough of. There wasn’t enough for total
satisfaction–there never is–but the 2006 Summer Sizzler is going to be one
of the most memorable races of the year for the real ocean racing
conditions.
