After rescheduling this regatta from May to June 4th, we were still able to have somewhat of an attendence: 10 Lasers, 1 Byte and 2 Sunfish. The wind was light during the skippers meeting and for the first 3 races (2-3mph?), but thankfully built to 5-6mph for the last two races. A special thanks goes out to Jeff Stork, Pat McGee, Amy Krafft and Kevin Majane for providing RC for us for what had to be an uneventful day compared to the carnage the week before. We used the same course area - by the power plant. I myself didn't sail, but played party hostess and had the grill going and beer cold for the sailors that stuck it out on a hot day with little wind. I understand the PRO Jeff Stork was right on with the start line and medium length sausage course. Bill K and I tested out the new RC boat. It's a GREAT, new boat that needs only a seat and a bimini. The party afterwards was enjoyable and bountiful. We gave out 5 awards to the following people: BYTE: 2nd Place Jacob Donkersloo (looks like practicing in a Radial works well for when you get back on a Sunfish) 1st place Diane Gobes. LASER: 3rd place Mike Heinsdorf (this guy sails Albacore, yet came out and beat several people who have been sailing Laser all year; we better toughen up on our practices) 2nd place Adam Dubitsky (1st place last week) and 1st place Robert Bennett. Robert was nice enough to do a write up for us on how he won the day, so look out for that message next. Thanks to everyone for coming out! We will need your support in the future to keep our fleet growing! Look out for an update website with the rest of the results soon! |
