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.
