KEYS - Alligator Light Kite Roundwinder Race?
Quote:
I would think it is a good bet we would have a number of useable wind days in January. Where would you want to run it from, Holiday Isle (if they let us), Whale Harbor, the Moorings or ??? So, what wind directions would you want to run this in? I've done it on a variety of directions ranging from almost ENE to just a little south of E I think. The closer to north it gets the tougher the northbound return tack. That is the one that I think took over 30 miles + to make it back to the Ragged Edge with a ridiculous number of flat tacks. That distance is closer to 8 miles and more upwind than the odd 6 to Holiday Isle closer to the beam on that wind. The runs I've done were impromptu. Laura would go to lunch, all that flat water would start to make me fall asleep and I would say OK, lets do a roundwinder to Alligator Light. To do a race though it would be more involved as you know from all the races you've run out there. What do you think?
