Michael sailed only on Saturday, but was last only in one race and had a seventh in the last race.  They tell me you are pinching too much.  Michael be sure you have the telltales on the sail and keep both of them flowing.  You may have to turn away from the wind some to get the one the windward side to flow.

Mathew Smith is Cameron’s young brother and pulled out of the Opti to sail a radial with us. 
Good job Mathew.  Look at that 6 in the third race.  Beat all those full rigs.

Charlie Jensen got out sailing with us on Sunday and pushing our numbers up to 12. Sunday was a tough day to sail with the light wind.  Come on Saturdays Charlie.

Max Epaillard showed us how he sailed the Opti so well.  He picked up one place in the first and last race on Saturday when I did the corrected times.  How about that 5^th place in eleven boats.

Cameron Smith was the youth leader on Saturday with a 3 and a 4.  Good work Cameron.

Vince Renzoni is one of our regulars and gradually improving.  He got out early on Sunday to check out the winds and get in some extra practice.  We should see more of that.

Luke Yates came back on Sunday to take his place as the first youth.  He was third overall on Sunday.  Good work Luke.

Jerry Beck had one of those weekends.  He won a race and was last in one.  The last two races on Saturday-  an 8 and then a first.

Sam apparently gets tired after an hour or so of racing and his numbers fall off.  See the note below on Alejandro.

Rob Krentel had a rough weekend.  He didn’t win a race but did get the third place trophy.

Alejandra Illera is back. It takes him a little time on the water to get warmed up.  Check his finishes both days.  Best of all he brought Maribel and Genesis, wife and daughter, back to visit.  Genesis is 13 yrs. old and as big as mom.  Wow.

Dave Chapin was back both days and didn’t win all the races, but showed us how to do it.  He sailed Kevin Ratigan's boat which you can buy from Sam.
