One of the advantages of sailing in the mornings and having short races is that we got in seven races on Saturday and five races in on Sunday while the 11 to 1 group struggled to get in one race on Saturday and sort of the same thing on Sunday with one race for Scots, Cs, Wayfarers and a shortened second race for the MCs.

We got to the big winner, Alejandro, over the weekend with Luke Yates winning 3 races (Yes, get used to the youth winning the Laser races.) Rob Krentel got a couple and so did Sam. Marc Solal is still hanging out in the middle of the fleet, but the RC tells me he is closer and closer. He is one of our most faithful. Caroline Chapin showed up and sailed her father’s boat because her grandfather was too lazy to rig all the strings on her green machine Laser. Max Barton returned from the Skate Board Championships, but got caught with a full rig in some gusty wind of Sunday. Max will be right with us when he catches up a little with his boat handling.

Caroline had her friend Madison out sailing with her and we hope she brings her back.

Alejandro Illera. 2-1-2-2-2-2-4+2-1-1-1-1 =21
Rob Krentel 1-2-1-3-3-3-3+3-3-3-2-2 = 29
Sam Chapin 3-5-4-4-5-1-2+1-2-2-3-3= 35
Marc Solal 4-4-5-5-4-4-5+4-4-4-4-4 = 51
Luke Yates Ns-3-3-1-1-5-1+ ns = 56
Caroline Chapin Nf-ns-ns-ns-ns-6-6+5-5-6-5-5=73
Max Barton Ns- x7 + 6-6-5-6-6 = 78

Lasers have two weeks off , but we will get some of our warm weather people out to warm up the water.

Sam: An old friend and an ex-step-uncle of mine sail occasionally at Lake Eustis in their MC scows during the winter circuit. Do you have any involvement in those regattas, or are you strictly Laser?
