June 2018 Race Results

The wind barely cooperated enough to get three races in for the June race.  By the third race we had a 90 degree shift in what little wind there was, making for a very awkward start.  Despite the typical summer conditions, it was yet another close race.  In A Fleet, first place went to new member Karel by a tie breaker with Penny and Matt.  Third place was just one more point behind.  B Fleet was all about the McCurdy’s who are working hard to earn the B Fleet trophy.

May 2018 Race Results

After several delays, the May race was finally held on Lake Baldwin on June 3.  Better late than never.  There were eleven sailors on six boats using the 6 – 8 knots of wind to try and best their fellow competitors.  There were no photo finishes this time around, but Penny and Todd made sure it was a memorable race when they lost their Main halyard up the mast.  Not wanting to forfeit the next race, they capsized on purpose so that they could reach the shackle.  After a couple attempts thwarted by running the halyard on the wrong side of the shroud, they were back in business for the final two races.   In A Fleet we had Kurt racing with new club member David, who we quickly learned was not new to sailboat racing, taking first place.  In just her second race ever, Donna took the crown in B Fleet.

April 2018 Race Results

Upon arrival at Lake Baldwin, the weather looked iffy.  There were storm clouds looming overhead while the lake was doing it’s best impression of a mirror.  Not wanting to postpone the race for another week, eight sailors rigged up four Hunter 140’s.  As the course was being prepared, the storm continued to dissipate and the wind came up to a lovely 8 – 10 knots.  It turned out to be a perfect day for the three rookie racers and five regulars.  Kayla secured a win for the Crimson Tide over the Buckeyes in B Fleet.  Rick and Penny continued their dominance with a win in A Fleet.  There are still plenty of races left in 2018 and lots of room to climb your way up the standings in both fleets.  Next race will be on May 20th.

February 2018 Race Results

There were fourteen sailors out racing on Feb 11th and they were rewarded with a beautiful day for sailing.  Winds were a consistent 8 – 10 knots and temps in the high 70’s.  It’s fantastic to see many new names on the score sheet this year.  On the course were three JY 15’s, three Hunter 140’s and one Sidewinder.  Yet another day ended up with a tie in total points for A Fleet, leaving the pair of firsts earned by Kurt and Gordon to break the tie for the day.  In B Fleet we’ve got a couple rookies fighting for their place in the top three of 2018.  Overall and very exciting day of sailing.  Next race is March 11th.

January 2018 Race Results

January’s race had great weather.  Wind around 8 knots and the sun warmed up the cold air for just enough time that everyone was comfortable.  We had the usual suspects on top of A Fleet and some new comers for B Fleet.

November 2017 Race Results

Sunday was a tremendous day for sailing!  With winds starting out around 14 knots and then settling in to around 10 for most of the race, you couldn’t ask for better conditions.  We had eleven sailors join us this time, including a couple rookies(Caroline and Andy) hiking out for their first race with the club.  There were no capsizes on the day and no fouls called.  Being the last race of the season, bragging rights for the next year were on the line.  In A Fleet, Kurt was trailing Rick by just four points coming in to the race.  As you’ll see below, there was a two way tie for first place on the day, and a three way tie for third place.  That means we had to dig in to the tie breaking rules.  With two first place finishes, Matt and Jesus win the tie vs Kurt and Caroline.  The cup for 2017 came down to a photo finish in this final race of the season, but of course we don’t have a photo to refer.  We think Kurt and Caroline edged out Rick, Natalie and Walter by a foot or two following a great comeback rounding the final mark.  That’s what the record will show.  It was a great 2017 season, and everyone is looking forward to 2018.  Stay on the lookout for Matt as he scored several first place finishes recently and is poised for a run at winning in 2018.

October 2017 Race Results

After an August race cut short by the doldrums and a September race cancelled all together by uninvited guest Hurricane Irma, The Sailing Club help it’s first full race since July. Our patience was rewarded with 8 – 10 knot winds and zero rain. Once again the point totals were extremely close, save for a malfunctioning Sunfish.
