Scotch Bonnet 2012Scotch Bonnet 2012For the third year in a row, the 2012 SBLR brought another exceptionally beautiful race. The winds were all directions east. Spinnaker boats were blown to Watoma Shoals by easterly winds. The sky was clear, and at night the Star viewing was excellent with no moon and the Milky Way painted across the sky. Relatively warm, in the 60's at night, it was also very dry for a Scotch Bonnet Race. There were hardly any waves to speak of. The one exception was the motor boat waves around Rochester harbor as boats struggled in light air at the finish. Flicker reported taking 1 and a half hours to complete the last 2 miles. The first 80 miles made up for the last 2 miles many times over.
As last year we had 25 boats including 5 new skippers. Notable Participants included Robert Porter from Oswego and our own Ray Howe racing with his sons. Griffen Orr brought the University At Buffalo Sailing Team to race for the first time. As the results show, their presence was felt.
