Key West Race Week- Day 4- Windy

(Key West, FL)- Today's forecast for the first time fulfilled the expectations for all sailing this year's regatta.  The prognostication of 15-20 knots early from SSE and fading towards afternoon were accurate with all courses having to watch what was happening on the right hand side of the course.

On the Division 1 course, regatta leader in IRC2, David Murphy's J/122 PUGWASH is sailing  well but has dropped to second overall based on today's races.  Robin Team's J/122 TEAMWORK faired a little worse in the weeks' shifty, streaky wind conditions and have dropped to fifth overall with a reasonable shot at a third overall.  Jim Bishop's J/44 GOLD DIGGER has had an unusually variable week and lies seventh, but only six points out of third.  The tale of the tape on Friday will certainly flip-flop the standings yet again.
