The weather brought rain and wind on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the sun was out and it felt great. But this storyis noweather report. The contrasting weather of the two days was a hot topic at Brant Beach Yacht club as it hosted the 2014 Optimist Atlantic Coast Championshipsduring the weekend.

Principal race officer Paul Coward thought the regatta ended up being spectacular after having “such challenging” conditions on Saturday. That day began with the races being delayed not because of torrential rain, but because the wind kicked up to over 25 mph.
