We finished the Keenan Series last month. It was the races of September, October and November. Lasers had 66 races. There were 18 sailors not counting Randy Rae and the two Erics. Rob Krentel was the only one that sailed in all 66. We counted 60% of the races or 40 of the 66. There were five of us that races in 40 of the races. Rob,.Alejandro, Sam, Marc Solas and Charlie Yost. The rest took a big hit for the races that they missed— with 18 sailors, that is 19 points for each of the races up to 40 that they missed.
Some of the trophies were given out at the Christmas party and the rest will be passed out individually as I can find you. Next time we will try to have our own little get together after the series.
After 40 races Alejandro Illera was one point ahead of Rob!! Then way behind was Sam in third. Marc Solas as fourth and had his trophy award at the Christmas party by Frank Keenan who was there with his wife, daughter Candi Robb, and friend and old sailing supporter Jane Hartge.
Fifth was Charlie Yost who also gets the Second Place Gold Award for sailors over 80 years of age.
Sixth was Caroline Ladley who also picked up first woman and first youth. I rolled that into one trophy with the label.
Seventh was Ben Getchell who as the second youth. Eight was George Sola. George was pretty regular for a while and I need to hunt him up.
Ninth was Charlies Jensen who receive our Middle of Fleet award.
Tenth is Jerry Beck who will climb up now that he is sailing regularly.
Eleventh is Jennifer Burno, second woman, sailing some with the MCs and busy Saturdays with the Opti coach job.
Twelfth is Conner Kechriotis, he is third youth, won one race, sails with high school team and is down in the scoring only because just recently got his boat.
Thirteen is Coach Craig Yates with just a few races with us. Fourteen is Glenda Libby, just sailed the first weekend.
Fifteen is Alan, sailed with us twice – nice guy, good sailor but we can’t figure out where we got him.
Sixteen is Arlen Bensen on leave to library school in Tampa.
Seventeen is Tom Galasso, Rudy’s son and happy to have him back anytime.
Eighteen was Max Barten who has been busy busy this fall season, but is our young youth award at 11years and a great sailor.
