12 Skippers came out on June 10th to take part in the annual Helms Regatta. What an interesting day: Temps were in the high eighties, the wind went around in circles for the first of six races, but then finally settled down, for the most part, to a NW breeze between 0 -> 8 knots. Drew Hudson won it in a walk with 7 points overall. He would have scored a perfect 6 if he had not sailed into a hole 15 feet from the finish line on the last race, only to watch Chris Bolton slowly overtake him and pass for the win. That was something to watch. Other dominant performances for turned in by Pat McGee and David Renie, who tied for second overall with 11 points each. Check out the scores, we couldn't break the tie! Daphne Byron rounded out the top 4 with 12 points. Here are the scores:
