SIZZLE & FIZZLE: July 14th Trophy Race Report

The temperature was hot.  The wind was not. But it was decent, so we had a fine race and we’ll take that anytime in the month of July.  And it didn’t rain so we’ll be happy with that, even in July, in waterlogged 2019. 

This was the “July 4^th Trophy Race”.   We welcomed back Steve Fisher crewing for the first time this year (for Tom Cartwright), as well as Catey and Elizabeth Hale in their first race this season in their Y-Flyer. 

 

Thanks to Bob Orben and Jim & Mimi Riffle for doing a fine job officiating our race.  Catey Hale with help from Kevin Preuss set a fine race course.  Kevin also organized the race and Beth Auld organizes our officiating volunteers.  Thanks to all.

Matt Bartlett came in first overall in both races.

We had a fun protest meeting, catching up with the Hales for the first time this season.  Thanks Arlene for hosting us!
