Barbie’s boat and Barbie moving fast after workshop
It was a great day for sailing ! Chilly, but with the sunshine and the running we had to do to keep sight of our boats, we all managed to stay relatively warm.
At the workshop on Saturday Jonathan revealed a couple of sail setting tips to improve boat speed which proved most beneficial for Anne Lambert, Terry and Gary Schmidt. Out of the 7 races held Anne improved her score by walking away with a 2nd & 4th for the day, Terry races in with a 2nd, two 3rds, and a 4th, and Gary, who missed the first 2 races due to slow play on the golf course, had 2 wins, 2 seconds, and a fourth. It seems pretty clear that if you set your sail correctly that your boat is much harder to beat. “Thanks Jonathan!”
Following racing, Jonathan and Anna served everyone attending a baked chicken dinner which was very generous of them. ” Thank You again Jonathan & Anna.”
Complete Results and Standings
We will be racing one more time at Riley Lake (Sunday April 28th 2-4pm) before shifting to the Canandaigua Yacht Club for the remaining 4 Sundays in our spring series. Jonathan & Anna will be away that day so our good friend, Walt Bankes has agreed to be PRO for the day. Following racing everyone is invited to Anne & Nelson’s house to enjoy the taste of summer with a Hamburg/Hotdog style cookout to celebrate the end of cold temperatures. Beginning May 5th we will be at CYC and the new time will be 4 – 6 pm throughout the summer.
Shortly I will be sending out NOR for this year’s Squaw Island Race and Cookout to be held Saturday May 25th. It is never too early to start planning for that one. Chauffer boats will be needed , so if you know of any please pass it along so no one gets left behind. As always, if you act as a chauffer you will get a free meal, drinks and plenty to talk about.
