Labor Day Weekend Regatta 2019

Saturday, August 31, 2019

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, five races were sailed in a NW wind with big shifts and puffs that made for a fun afternoon of sailing. We sailed a combination of port triangles and windward-leeward courses. Since we got in five races, there was one throw-out. Andre & Sasha Bakker were very fast, with three bullets. Tom Kucharski and Jenn Carroll took second place, with two bullets, a second and a third. Reg Jones and Steve Kovacs had two third place finishes, a fourth and a sixth to capture third place. Phil Rentz and Matt Kamrath were in very close contention for third place with two third place finishes. Jim Hourdequin and his daughter Charlotte, along with Dave Beaufait held their own and captured a second place finish in the fourth race just seconds behind the Bakkers. Rand Dickson and Cathy Geiger sailed well in their FJ with Widgeon sails with two fourth place finishes. Joe Gasparik and Wendell Smith had a second place finish in the second race. Bryan Muenzer and Alex did well for their first regatta, with a fourth place finish in the final race.

Many thanks to Betty Ann Heistad for getting the burgers and hot dogs for our post-racing BBQ and for Kate McMullan's help with set up, and our volunteer grill masters. Reg Jones got the cold drinks ready and took care of the trash and recycling. Thanks everyone!
