A whole lot of nothing going on. Little to no breeze was the story of the day. The lucky ones were able to squeeze in one race. Photos credit: Leighton O’Connor www.leightonoconnor.com

Final Results
Members of the U.S. Olympic Sailing team run the gamut when it comes to medal chances.
With a staggering 188 boats, the 505 fleet employed a gate or rabbit start to give the entire fleet an equal chance during the starting phase. Over six days, just nine races were completed, leading to a tight point spread and ensuring that no place on the podium was locked down until the finish line. The team of Jan Saugmann and Martin Gorge (DEN 8964) snagged a third place in the final race, leap-frogging them into first overall.

With more than half the 2012 Pac Cup fleet now en route to Hawaii, albeit slowly, the remaining racers are not chomping at the bit to get off the dock, given the dour wind pattern that has plagued the early starters and the not-so-great outlook for the next day or so.
Carnage was minimal and the fun factor was high at the annual Gorge Blowout on the Columbia River.
Cold, overcast, and breezy conditions kick off the Pac Cup to Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
