Saturday Series on 5/23/2020
The Clubs 1st Saturday Event for the 2020 season, just 7 Sailors turned out to do battle!
The wind was forecast to be from the NNE at about 4 MPH at Start and pick up to 8-10 in the later heats, Mild temperatures High 60's. The mixed sunshine and overcast, and the wind was shifting, so at times boats were dead in the water, as those behind them in the fleet bore down, surfing into contention as the hapless leader waited for the good wind to reach HIM!!
Gold Fleet:
We had a total of 3 Gold Fleet sailors show up plus RD David Steger. Mike Wyatt won, just 2 points ahead of Rick Lawler, who was 10 points ahead of Larry Lamphier. Every Skipper won at least a single race, and the way to win was consistency in the rapidly changing wind conditions.
Silver Fleet:
In Silver, there were also 4 competitors, for a total participation/ both Fleets, of 7. Battling it out for the win on the day were Larry Ward and Brad Ferrell, separated by just a single point after discards. In third- Bob Kalman with the most 2nds over the #90 Dan Jarold.
