 Laser races for April 28 and 29, 2012.  Light wind on Saturday limited racing to one hour.  More wind on Sunday with big shifts on both speed and direction.
Rob Krentel        3-2-1 +1-1-1-3-1       13  

Alejandro Illera 1-1-2+2-3-2-1-3         15

Sam Chapin        4-3-3+3-2-3-2-2         22

Marc Solal                  ns+4-4-4-4           47

Luke Yates         2-4-4+ns                       55

Don                     6-6-5+ns                       62

Michael Gapuz  7-5-6+ns                       63

Bailey Carter      5-ns-ns+ns                    64

Bailey is back sailing with us.  A good fifth place in the first race and not sure why he didn’t stay.  Hope he returns more often to help with the others.

Michael needs to sail with us more.  He is welcome anytime.  A tough day with wind speed changes that just take experience sailing in company.

Don has sailed a lot, but needs a little more time in the Laser and getting used to our system.  We hope he keeps coming.

Luke was in third place on Saturday and had a second in the first race.   He has been sailing Hobie Cats as well as anything he can get a hold of.  Good sailing Luke.

Marc had all fourths on Sunday, but was having good starts and at least one time the first boat around the windward mark.  I would say that is better light wind sailing for Marc.  He already has high wind working well.

Sam was fourth behind Luke on Saturday and in third for the weekend—mostly because Luke didn’t come.  But he enjoyed the big shifts on Sunday and had some second places.

Alejandro was back  --placed ahead of Rob on Saturday and then lost out on Sunday.  Maybe it was that capsize in the last race??   The boats go slow upside down.

Rob finished up a little ahead of Alejandro.   We had a modified rob course again with two gybe marks.  It continues to be interesting.   Come and try it!!
