Analysis of the winds during C.O.R.K. 1974 / by Brian J. O'Donnell.: En58-27/2-73-3E-PDF
"Kingston, Ontario, was chosen as the site for the Olympic Yachting Event because of its proximity to Montreal and its fine sailing conditions, including the high persistence of the daytime lake breeze. The latter is illustrated in the statistics (1) issued in 1973 as background to the Olympic Sailing Events. Observations taken at Main Duck Island (1944-72), some 20 KM southwest of the Olympic Course, show that during the months of July and August between 72 and 75% of the observed winds blew from the south through west quadrant, and in both cases, the greatest frequency occurred in the 13 to 18 MPH range. It is not difficult to accept these statistics when one observes the long water fetch that these directions enjoy"--Page [1].
