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.
