May 19 and 20, 2012

 May 19 and 20, 2012 the Laser fleet overtakes the other fleets at LESC with 11 boats racing on Saturday and 5 on Sunday.   Five races on Saturday and four on Sunday.    Well don’t get carried away,   that is mostly because the MC scows had a big regatta someplace else.    I will send out the Davis Island report for Saturday racing.  They had eight boats out.  By the numbers we are doing very well.

Dave Chapin         1-2-1-1-1+2-2-2-1    13

Rob Krentel           4-5-2-2-2+1-3-1-2    22

Sam Chapin           3-3-4-3-4+3-1-3-3      27

Vince Renzoni       7-8-8-8-8+4-4-4-4      55

Marc Solal             ns-6-6-7-6+5-5-5-5    55

Alejandro Illera     2-1-3-4-3+ns                68

Charles Jensen      5-4-5-5-5+ns                 79

Craig Yates            6-7-7-6-7+ns                 88

Jon Chapin            10-9-9-9-9+ns               101

Baily Verkaik           8-ns+ns                         

Luke Yates              9-ns+ns

Luke Yates is one of our usual youth challengers and capable of winning a race or two.  He came out with radial sail. Some kind of weather report thing.  Better luck next time.

Bailey Verkaik sailed with us… this old guy reported Cameron Smith in the general newsletter.  Well, it is too late to fix that Bailey.  You were ahead of Luke and that usually takes some sort of work.  I will try to do better with reporting you.

Jon Chapin sailed well but finished last in all the races.  He has been pleasure sailing and that really is a different ball game.  If he sails a little more with us that will all change.

Craig Yates is usually up near the top when we are finishing.  Some problem with the boat.  Maybe we can figure that out.

Charles Jensen was back with us. Our founding Laser sailor.  He passed Sam a couple of times and just needs a little more practice.

Alejandro Illera was back with us for one day before going off for his trip to Greece.  He was second to Dave Chapin on Saturday and Just ahead of Rob.   Miss a day racing and it really shoots your score..

Marc Solal in a tie with Vince R.  We hope these two can keep battling it out.  Marc really comes through on the windy days.
Vince Renzoni has climbed up into fourth place.  Sailing better every day.

Sam Chapin.  Did you notice that they let the old man win one race?

Rob Krentel tied and beat Dave Chapin with two bullets on Sunday, but then he had to put up with the Saturday score. Good work on Sunday with all the strange wind shifts.

Dave Chapin come back and help us whenever you can.  It gives Rob and Alejandro some work to do.

We have added Kevin Ratigan’s boat to our group and hope to have another youth h sailor out with us in thatboat.  Summer is almost here but we will continue to race every other weekend.
