The third event of the Etchells West Coast Spring Series (WCSS) was the Etchells Pacific Coast Championship (PCC) sailed the weekend of April 9-10. The weekend forecast called for intermittent rain squalls with winds of 15 to 20 knots and gusts up to 25+ knots. As competitors prepared for the weekend, they were very concerned that they might be in for some brutal weather conditions. On Saturday morning Etchells arrived to the start line on Coronado Roads and were surprised to find a mild south breeze and semi cloudy skies. Looking out to the south, there was a very visible storm line so the Race Committee got the first race off quickly in an effort to get the day’s races in before the conditions deteriorated.
