Course area and course configuration
editThe courses had been well prepared. The marks were laid by the United States Lighthouse Service in the form of large Government. Visiting yachts were kept at a safe distance from the racing boats by the US Coast Guard. Tows were arranged by the US Navy to and from Los Angeles Harbor to the race area. The O-Jolle stayed inside the breakwater to protect them from the ocean swell. Unfortunately no documentation is found about the course configuration(s) yet.
Weather conditions
editThe correct historic weather data for Los Angeles during the O-Jolle races can be obtained for about US$20.- at http://weather-warehouse.com/index.html.
Due to the normal afternoon sea breeze in Los Angeles Harbor it was decided to race the O-Jolles in the morning. However it turned out that in various morning there was no wind at all. This made it necessary to run the O-Jolles races in the afternoon in windy conditions. It also made id difficult for several sailors to sail the races in the O-Jolle as well in one of the other classes.[1]
