June 5th Trophy Race, and SPECIAL THANKS

 

Arlene and Levi watch the race

This was our first race of the season, and the "July 4th" Trophy Race.  The wind for the first race, the trophy race,  was light, but picked up for the 2nd race.

Thanks to our volunteers, Beth Auld, Bob Orben and Margaret Powers in the Committee Boat and Jim Riffle in the Safety Boat. And to John Gall for setting up the course.  Committee Boat Chair Beth Auld and Race Chair Kevin Preuss keep the race machinery running smoothly.  And thank you to Arlene Truex for hosting our first protest meeting of 2022!

Speaking of race machinery, SPECIAL THANKS to PAUL HASS for his custom woodworking, creating six new spindles to hold 60 feet of line for each of our race markers!  The old ones had become unworkable.  He did this on short notice just a day or two before the race using one of the better old ones as a template, and even varnished them.  And he used just the right wood.  Thank you Paul! 

 Three of the spindles are pictured below:
