The 2009 ISAF Team Racing World Championship is being held from January 31 to
February 8 in Perth, Western Australia. Clay Bischoff, Lisa Keith, Colin
Merrick, Amanda Callahan, Pete Levesque and Liz Hall, who won the last edition
of the ISAF Team Racing World Championship held at Gandia, Spain in 2007, have
returned as the New York Yacht Club team to defend the title. Here is their
story:
(Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2009) - “Having digested our Kangaroo from yesterday, we
were ready to do battle on Day 2. This morning we were greeted with low-lying
clouds and high humidity reminiscent of the San Diego marine layer. The locals
assured us that the weather is "never like this" and that we should have a
healthy seabreeze by mid-morning. As sure as we ate crocodile the locals were
correct and the Freemantle Doctor did not disappoint.
“Most of the day's racing was conducted in an 8-16 knot southwesterly bending
around a hilltop that manifested itself as race changing lefties and righties.
Our races have been very short, on the order of 5 minutes and there have
generally been 5 or 6 big puff/shifts that come through during each race. This
kind of constant race reshuffling put us in and out of many combinations -
both winning and losing all day. We were, however, able to best our opponents
through most of these conditions to remain undefeated so far in the event.
Unfortunately, all that will get us is a better seed in the championship
rounds.
“The highlight race for us today was a race against our friends on USA2 (John
Storck lll/Kaity Storck, Erick Storck/Lyndsey Gibbons-Neff, Charlie
Enright/Meris Tombari).” -- Read on:
