This was a trophy race, and the last race of the season. The wind was about as good as you would hope for without being a bit too much. Few if any dead spots, some gusts had sailors fully hiked out from time to time, and we had the usual Grandview wind shifts, but there were no capsizes. We were glad to have Lance and Bianca Snyder join us, and they are now out of contention for the "ghost sailor" award for 2022.

| After the "5-minutes to start horn "sailors are going back and forth parallel to the starting line. They will attempt to cross the starting line just as the start horn in sounded. The Committee Boat is in front of the 2nd sailboat from the left. We appreciate photos! |
Thank you to Bob Orben and Phil Bush for doing a flawless job of officiating, and for bringing in the race markers after the race. They even nailed anchoring the Committee Boat next to the yellow flag. Catey Hale set up a race that was good for the prevailing wind with an assist from Tom Schroeder. Committee Boat Chair Beth Auld made sure we had volunteers on a weekend that was busy for many of our volunteers, and Race Chair Kevin Preuss kept the sailors coordinated.
All sailors and volunteers past and present:
