December 5-6, 2009

It was a really great weekend for the Laser group.
First let me dispose of the 420 story.. Craig Yates brought an Opti student out (the only one of his class that came) as crew on the 420. Our solid RC took times and Craig and crew corrected out to 1-4-6-3-1-6 finishes. They won two races and finished one point ahead of Luke Yates. (Luke had turned over and took a big hit in the first race.) Craig is happy to beat the kid, as he doesn’t do that much.
Now with that family affair taken care of and while we are happy to do Portsmouth for anyone that wants to come and sail with us, we don’t need to count them in the Laser group... especially if they are doing a lot of first places.
Next let me put down just the Sunday scores
Alejandro Illera 1-2-1-4-4 = 12
Sam Chapin 3-1-3-3-2 = 12
Jerry Beck 2-4-.5-1-1 =13
Rob Krentel 4-3-3-2-3 = 14
Marc Solal 5-4-5-5-5 = 24
Note that we had four boats with in 2 points after 5 races. And regular racing is paying off for Jerry beck with is two wins.
Now let me put together the Saturday and Sunday races. Note that Marc Solal got a second place after leading until just the finish. So all our regulars are moving up.
Alejandro takes a big hit for missing Saturday.
Rob sailed into some big holes, but was always close. He won Saturday and if I had left Craig in the scoring he and Sam would be tied for the weekend.
Sam Chapin 2-3-1-2-2-1+3-1-3-3-2 = 23
Rob Krentel 1-2-2-1-1-3+4-3-2-2-3 =24
Jerry Beck Ns-5-5-3-5-4+2-4-5-1-1=41
Alejandro Illera 36+1-2-1-4-4=48
Marc Solal Ns-4-4-5-5-2+5-5-4-5-5=49
Luke Yates Ns-1-3-4-3-5+30 =52
Luke yates did a terrific job sailing the full rig in a lot of wind. Won the second race.
Seth Bahr has been sailing with us during the week and we expect the whole High School bunch will be back soon doing 420s and Lasers.
Jim Rotella got an hour in sailing the Laser on Sunday afternoon – he is getting ready to join us.
Tom Doyle is back with his MX ray. Maybe we can get him racing it with us.
