2003 North American Championship |

C & C Regatta, National Yacht Club |
|||||||||||||
| There were 10 Viking 28's present for this year's regatta
although the fleet was split into Flying and Non-flying sail divisions.
The National put on a great regatta with lots of on-shore activities and
events.
The racing was marred somewhat by the tardy wind which kept all fleets waiting and waiting and waiting on both days.

| But eventually the wind came and on Saturday, built nicely to a 10 - 14 knot breeze, then dropped to nothing again before we could get in a second race. On Sunday the wait was rewarded with the backwash from nearby storms and the wind touched 20 knots at times making for exciting runs and exhausting beats. The Genco course managed to get in two races on Sunday to complete the three race series for the N.A. Trophy. | |||||||||||||
| The racing was great with many place changes and as often happens it was the boats which made the fewest mistakes rather than the boat speed which was reflected in the finishing order. I believe every one had a great time and resolved not to make those same mistakes again! Again! | |||||||||||||
