In the Sport-light: Roundup of news from Hull's wide world of sports
/Compiled by Matt Haraden
• At the Hull Yacht Club, the Late Summer Series continued with 15 boats on the line on Thursday night, August 14 on a combined night with Hingham as RC. The start of the first race was uneventful, but area storms ultimately found their way to Hull Bay as boats were rounding the first weather mark. The race was abandoned and the fleet made its way back to the mooring field with winds topping out at just about 30 knots. All returned safely with no breakage. Sailors did get the full Fleet Wellness Program spa treatment though, which included a dry sauna session, salt spray therapy, a sea air blow-dry and a thorough fresh-water douse, in that order. All enjoyed the porch party and were particularly happy that the Hull Yacht Club approved the installation of the second hot tub during the off-season. There is no racing scheduled for this Thursday, August 21, as the R19 National Championship will be under way in Marblehead. Next race is Thursday evening, August 28.
• School starts next week – August 27, and Hull High’s fall athletic season is already under way, as fall sports teams already are gearing up with practices.
