Solings Out on the Course

With an eight-win regatta and never finishing lower than third, it was Linwood Davis who topped the Sailor Class with a score of 1.33. Genie Ware earned four wins and four seconds to score 2.25 for second spot. With eight finishes in the top three, Bruce Wilhelm earned a score of 2.92 and third place overall. With a score of 3.75, John Barstow could claim fourth place, and Dave Corbett’s three second-place finishes and score of 4.25 qualified him for fifth. Not far behind with a score of 4.50 was Mark Bodenstab in sixth. Rounding out the class were Dick Currier and Kevin Bennett with scores of 6.25 and 7.17 respectively.

A tie at the top of the Master Class had Denis Boisvert and Anthony Quinn both scoring 2.20. Unfortunately, Denis’s boat was T-boned in Race #13, which put him out of Race #14, almost sinking his boat. Bob Pacini with five wins was only three tenths behind the leaders, scoring 2.50 for third, while Ted Monetta had a win and four seconds to earn 3.33 for fourth. Just barely getting fifth with three wins and a score of 3.50 it was Mark Whitehead, ahead of Bill Malay by only eight one hundreds who finished sixth. Arriving late was Joel Nelson, who came in seventh with a score of 6.00. For a couple of races, he loaned his boat to two of the Belgians, clearly demonstrating the kind of generosity and camaraderie our wonderful group shows weekly. Just as a final note, that’s 1.38 points from first to sixth — some mighty close competition!
