US12s on the Water

On the course, Tim Wright took top honors, with eleven wins in thirteen races and a score of 1.00. In second place, John Simms (2.82) earned the other two wins to go along with five second-place finishes. In third, Rick Gates (3.40) had four seconds and three thirds. Lin Davis (3.64) came back for another try at the US12s. This week, he had three seconds and one third, which earned him fourth place. Don McBride, in fifth place with a score of 4.22, earned three thirds in ten races. Bob Brennan (4.36) was in sixth place and also had three third-place finishes. In seventh place, Bob Strodel (5.00) managed to get some time off only to deal with boat issues. He missed five of the first seven races, and still had two thirds. Bruce Wilhelm’s boat was one of the boats stuck together, and after the collision, his rigging seemed to change. Still, Bruce (5.20) managed a third in one of his six races.

In the final tally, we all were winners, as the afternoon provided some great sailing as well as camaraderie. Let’s hope we can keep the wind for next week.
