Out on the Water Headache victims were exchanged this week. On June 21, Ken Gerber sailed to the top of the Sailor Class, but only seven days later, he struggled with boat issues. Tom Barstow, on the other hand, went home with electrical problems last week but reigned supreme in the Sailor Class this Tuesday. Tom and Ken are in fierce competition to be the season’s top seadog, and so far Tom leads the way — by only a point! Just to show you how close the competition is, all top five skippers this week were separated by two points. On the podium in second place was Jim Opie, four tenths behind the leader. As of late, Bruce Brown has been in the thick of things, placing third and only six tenths behind Jim. John Barstow sailed to a fourth, followed closely by Bob Brennan. Tim Wright again took top honors in the Master Class with six wins. Always a contender, it was Don Cundy in second with two wins to brag about. Third place was held by the fleet’s struggling commodore, Mark Whitehead, with Jack Minahan nipping at his stern in fourth. Capturing fifth place was Paul McBride. From first to fifth, the separation was less than two points.
