Summer #2 Race Results Posted

The second race of 2010 SYC Summer Series was held on Sat., May 15. There were 14 boats in the race, 10 in the spinnaker division and 4 in the non-spinnaker division.

The course was 3/4 - Ss - Yp - Xp - 12p - Ys - 3/4 for a total of 10.23 nautical miles. The race got underway on-time with a relatively light wind that filled in over the course of the afternoon. A big thank-you goes to John Draeger for setting a temporary race mark to square the start line to the wind. This not only made the start more of a strategic decision, but also helped keep the large sailboat fleet separated from the small-boat regatta underway just to the right of the channel entrance.

Congratulations to Head Rush (Charlie Watt) for taking first place, and to Smokin' J (Stan Phillips) and Pizote (John Ryan) for taking second and third place respectively in the spinnaker division.  Congratulations also goes to Linda Carol (Ray Collier) for taking first place, and to Sweet Pea (Tim Petersen) and Iowa (Rick Dalton) for taking second and third place in the non-spinnaker division.

Grilled sausages, chips and other refreshments were enjoyed afterwards while discussing the race and results.
