Western Reserve Model Yacht Club

Tuesday Series October 13 2020 Results

With only three Tuesday evenings left, Western Reserve MYC sailors showed up at SPIRE Institute on October 13 to make a final push toward improving their race standings for the season, which will end as of Tuesday October 27. Normally, as the end of the year is upon the club, the standings are a mere 2-3 points apart; but this year, because of concerns about Covid-19, attendance has been down as has the competition. For the 2020 season, in Gold Fleet, Rick Lawler has a clear, probably insurmountable lead, with 19 points separating him from second place Bob Green. In Silver Fleet Brad Ferrell is similarly way ahead of second place Bob Kalman. On October 13, winds were from the west-northwest, at 4 PM at about 6 MPH; but by Heat 10- 7 PM- zero. So, races 11 and 12 were cancelled.

In Gold Fleet, Rick Lawler dominated, winning 8 of the 10 races. In a solid 2nd - but 15 points down- was Doug Rieger.

In Silver Fleet we had another disappointing turnout of just 2 sailors- and series leader Brad Ferrell placed first, with Bob Kalman second.

Ah- the fickle winds do NOT just come in August!
