Big wind in a test run of the RHiB Yamaha. Engine ran well however it took a lot of throttle adjustment to keep from accelerating and launching off of waves.

On Saturday, HAMPTON SPRINTS became a COVID-modified event of multiple, short one-lap races. Five (5) boats took to the race course mid-day Saturday, on the front edge of the remnants of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Laura. The competitors split into 2 fleets, Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker, and raced for an hour and one-half before the building winds drove them off the course. RESULTS: Spinnaker Group (3 boats): 1.Roundabout, Alan Bomar (2-1-2-2); 2.Myrage, Christian Schaumloffel (1-2-4/ocs-1); 3.Callinectes, Ben Cuker (3-3-1-3). Non-Spin Group (2 boats):1.Seeker, Alan Johnson (1-1-1); 2.Luna Blu, Keith Midgette (2-2-2). High-5! to Roundabout, the only boat to fly a chute in any race! Race Officer: John Blais.
