Steger wins Western Reserve Model Yacht Club Tuesday event at SPIRE
David Steger, of Painesville won the Tuesday, July 6 model sailing races at SPIRE, beating Rick Lawler (Perry) in second, and Mike Wyatt (Perry) in third. There were no Silver Fleet competitors present for what was to be one of the best Tuesday evening race days so far in 2021.
Winds Tuesday were fresh- from the WNW at a steady 12 MPH with 17 MPH gusts, making for great racing over 6-leg courses that used about 2/3 of the 5-acre pond. A mid-lake Start was followed by a windward leg to the west, then a diagonal broad reach to the eastern side, then a 2nd windward leg back to the west, another fast long broad reach all the way to the south end, then a 3rd long windward beat to a mid-lake Finish. The club got in all planned 12 races, and concluded at 7:00 PM- ½ hour early. A great evening!!
