Sonar World Championship - Day One.
With conditions on Long Island Sound as far from typical as they get, the 58 boat Sonar Worlds fleet got off three races with winds gusting into the 20's and temperatures well down in the 50's. It was a cross between season's-end regatta sailing and East coast frostbiting.
With finishes of 2-3-4, Marblehead sailmaker Jud Smith holds the lead going in to Day 2. But he has only a two point lead over Bill Lynn, also of Marblehead, with Dave Franzel of Boston just one point behind Lynn.
Peter Galloway of the host Noroton Yacht Club leads the local contingent as the record fleet, representing seven countries, heads into the second day of the four-day event.
