My local Sailing Club has had a very rough 2016 race season so far. They scheduled 10 races between May and mid-September and then scheduled a 3 race fall series. Our first two races were cancelled due to no wind, and then we managed to get only 2 of the next 5 races in - the rest were cancelled due to severe weather.
It's been a fairly dry summer in Western Pennsylvania until the last week or so, but the storms we've had have been on race day unfortunately.
I sail in our Sunfish class, but had planned to sail my DS with my eight year old son last week in the Open class, but thunderstorms popped up.
Has anyone else had such bad luck this summer?
The race committee has already scheduled one make-up race next week by converting a learn-to-race session to an actual club race. Hopefully the folks learning to race will decide to come out and race for real. Unfortunately I don't think the schedule will allow for other make up races.
