Sunday June 24, 2012

We really had a great day sailing in the rain and wind on Sunday June 24, 2012.  We had the races for Saturday canceled so we could pitch in with Sailstice.



Rob Krentel       1-1-1-2-1-2         8

Jerry Beck          ns-3-4-1-2-1       18

Sam Chapin        2-2-3-3-3-nf        20

Marc Solal           3-4-2-4-4-3         20

Vince Renzoni     4-5-5-5-5-nf       31

Michael Gapuz   ns-6-6-ns-ns-ns  40

Michael was our only Youth and he came late, but Jerry helped him get his boat in.  He sailed a radial and we took times on his two races.  On correction his times moved up, but not enough to catch Vince so he stays with two 6’s.  He came in to meet with Monte Stamper and Ray Laguna to talk about his Eagle Scout project and the landscaping around the club house.  The youth are moving up on the water and on shore.

Vince Renzoni sailed a full rig and was doing better.   Sailing flatter going up wind and in better control.  He is a light weight so this is more of a challenge for him – I remind him that he and Alejandro weigh about the same.   He was happy with his racing on Sunday.

Marc Solal wasn’t going to come Sunday unless we were racing.  It was a great day with he and Sam tied for third.  Marc had one second and several other close finishes.  Notice that Jerry, Sam and Marc were only 2 points apart at the end of the day.

Sam had his only practice sail on because of the rain and too lazy thinking about drying his good sail before taking it home.  He developed a big rip in the sail in the last race, so he comes in while he could still sail with it.  It was not downwind back to the sailing club.

Jerry took a couple of races to figure out the day, and then was right with Rob in the last three.  Won two races.  Way to go Jerry.

Rob Krentel, thank you for letting Jerry win a couple of races. We need to have him coming back.

Next Laser races in two weeks and then every two weeks all summer.

We may also have some organized sailing during the week.  If you are interested, let me know which days and we will try to get a group together. We have some extra boats so you don’t need your own Laser.
