Our first December races were a great mix with 60 degree temp and light winds on Saturday and brisk on Sunday. Winter has started. December 4-5, 2010

Craig Yates won the Saturday races with a 2-4-1 for a seven. Note that win in the last race. Sam had a 1-5-2 for 8 and Rob Krentel got caught in too many holes and ended up with 4-3-3 for ten, but Rob made up for it on Sunday with seven bullets in the seven races in the brisk winds.

We expect Alejandro back this week, so Rob will have a little more interesting time.

The finishes with Saturday first:

Rob Krentel 4-3-3+ 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 = 17
Tom Rhodes 6-6-6+ 4-3-3-2-2-2-2 = 36
Marc Solal 7-7-nf+3-2-2-3-nf-3-3= 45
Sam Chapin 1-5-2+2-ns------- =58
Craig Yates 2-4-1+ 56 (ns Sun.) =63
Seth Bahr 3-1-5+ 56 =65
Cameron Smith 5-2-4+56 =67

Tom Rhodes moved into second place by hanging in there on Sunday. Marc Solal beat him in the first three races and then Tom beat him in the last four.

Marc and Tom have been entertaining each other over the past several months and both are getting closer to the top of the fleet. They were working with Rob on Sunday to be sailing better in the higher winds and getting the starts better. They all had a good time on Sunday. Laughing and smiling when they got in.

Seth Bahr was back to sail with us and won the second race on Saturday and came in third for the Saturday races. (We are having a separate Saturday Series now.)

Cameron Smith had a second in the second race and was in the middle of the fleet the rest of the time, but ended up 5th out of the seven. Just one point behind Rob –not bad company.

Then Saturday afternoon Rob, Tom and Sam sailed with the high school students with starting and race practice. We had eleven Lasers out. Good afternoon.

We will have a cold week and then a little warmer on the weekend.
