Out on the Course

Tim Wright won the day, but not without some solid competition from John Simms. Tim had five first-place finishes and an average of 1.80. John was right behind with a 2.30 average and four firsts. In third place, Rick Gates finished with a 3.10 average and one win. In fourth, Rick Laird had a win and an average of 3.80, and in fifth was Don Cundy (4.10) with four top-three finishes. Lin Davis just bought a US12 and did well in the three races he entered, finishing third in all three. After he had power issues, he dropped out for the rest of the day and tallied a 4.33 average. In seventh, Bruce Wilhelm sailed a borrowed boat after discovering that his boat had some serious issues that needed to be dealt with. His average of 5.00 didn’t tell the whole story as he won a race and was leading another at the second mark when the boat developed steering issues, destroying his chance for a second possible win. Don McBride came in eighth with 5.33. He had a hard time cracking the top three, but did have two fourths and four fifths. In ninth place, Anthony Quinn was dealing with radio and rigging issues. We hope he has better luck next week.

Thanks to all who showed up and shared in the sailing. Between spectators and sailors, we watched some great sailing by the entire fleet. We hope to see everyone again next week.
