A great weather forecast brought out eight sailboats. And unlike previous races the forecast did not disappoint. We appreciated two or three powerboat captains actually stopping while pulling tubers so they would not be in the way of the racing sailboats.Thank you!'
Thanks to volunteers Beth Auld, Bob Orben, Margaret Powers and Jim Riffle. Thanks also to John Auld for setting up the course, Kevin Preuss and Beth Auld for organizing the race, and Arlene Truex for hosting the "protest meeting".
The races were quick, at about 20 minutes for both. Races were very close with difference in times of just 10-15 seconds in some cases. Gusts were not as bad as the July 24th race, but we did have a couple of capsizes and a couple of equipment snafus.
Jim Voelz was first in the Laser class and overall in both races. Tom and Sarah Cartwright were first in the International Class in both races, even overcoming the speedy Thistle's handicap factor.
We had an enjoyable post-race gathering with excellent snacks at Arlene's afterward - thanks Arlene!
