The Optimists sailed with us on a little shorter course...

Justin Harper is Leah’s younger brother (See above for Leah).  He got ahead of Matt in the last races.—good work Justin.

Matt Smith is another family member with his big brother Cameron sailing a full rig Laser.  He was chasing Max all morning.

Max Epaillard is regular Opti champ.  He has sailed the Laser 4.7 with us.  He is hard to beat in the Opti.

 

Michael Gapuz is getting some time in his Laser radial and managed a 5^th in the first windy race.  Good job Michael.

Leah Harper sailed a radial and this was her first time racing with us. She beat Claire twice and that is not easy to do.
Claire Epaillard was the top radial sailor.  When I corrected the times she jumped up to 5^th in the third race.  Our first woman.

Luke Yates had a bad first race that held him back.  Not sure what happened.

Jerry Beck usually loves this windy stuff, but a sore back held him back.  The three in the first race is his usual stuff and pushing the front.

Cameron Smith got a 2 in the last race and was our first youth.  Good job again Cameron.

Marc Solal came on Sunday and sailed a different boat.  It is tough when you changed boats, even the Lasers are all rigged a little different.  He did get one third but is usually better than that when it is windy.

Vince Renzoni changed over to a radial on Saturday so he missed most of the races and then when the wind died there he was in the radial.  He hung in there on Saturday with a full rig and beat Marc most of the time

Sam couldn’t get around the windward mark better than third.  He was lucky to do that.  Don’t complain.

Rob got to David on two of the races on Sunday.  That will make him work a little harder.

David Chapin continued to win most of the races.  What is it?  Nail the start, sail fast and hit all the shifts.
