December 18 and 19, 2010
Luke Yates wins the Saturday races and Rob Krentel wins the weekend. Lasers sail both days in the rain with 4 races on Saturday in a morning shortened to wait for the wind to fill in and seven races on Sunday with only three of our regulars sailing. The other guys didn’t do any better. Wayfarers went out on Sunday, but came back in without starting a race. Combination of cold and windy, I think. The Scots only had three out Sunday. The MCs had a little group out for two races and Bob Newland, the J24 sailor from Puerto Rico, won both with our visitor from Texas in second.
Rob Krentel 2-1-3-3+2-1-2-1-2-1-1 = 19
Sam Chapin 1-6.5-1-2+1-2-1-2-1-2-2= 21.5
Marc Solal 4-3-4-4+3-3-3-3-3-3-3= 36
Luke Yates 3-2-2-1+ dc = 64
Glenda Libby Rebel ds-6.5-5-ds+dc= 83.5
Craig Yates 420 ds-4-ds-ds+dc = 84
Bailey Verkaik 4.7 ds-5-ds-ds+dc = 85
So on Saturday we fleshed out the Laser fleet with Glenda in Rebel and Craig’s morning class. The “big boat sailors” watched the rain and drank beer.
Coming soon will be several pages about how to sail the Laser in higher winds.
Next racing is New Years Day at 10 AM and Club Racing the week after.

Monday, December 6, 2010
Our first December races were a great mix with 60 degree temp and light winds on Saturday and brisk on Sunday. Winter has started. December 4-5, 2010
Craig Yates won the Saturday races with a 2-4-1 for a seven. Note that win in the last race. Sam had a 1-5-2 for 8 and Rob Krentel got caught in too many holes and ended up with 4-3-3 for ten, but Rob made up for it on Sunday with seven bullets in the seven races in the brisk winds.
We expect Alejandro back this week, so Rob will have a little more interesting time.
The finishes with Saturday first:
Rob Krentel 4-3-3+ 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 = 17
Tom Rhodes 6-6-6+ 4-3-3-2-2-2-2 = 36
Marc Solal 7-7-nf+3-2-2-3-nf-3-3= 45
Sam Chapin 1-5-2+2-ns------- =58
Craig Yates 2-4-1+ 56 (ns Sun.) =63
Seth Bahr 3-1-5+ 56 =65
Cameron Smith 5-2-4+56 =67
Tom Rhodes moved into second place by hanging in there on Sunday. Marc Solal beat him in the first three races and then Tom beat him in the last four.
Marc and Tom have been entertaining each other over the past several months and both are getting closer to the top of the fleet. They were working with Rob on Sunday to be sailing better in the higher winds and getting the starts better. They all had a good time on Sunday. Laughing and smiling when they got in.
Seth Bahr was back to sail with us and won the second race on Saturday and came in third for the Saturday races. (We are having a separate Saturday Series now.)
Cameron Smith had a second in the second race and was in the middle of the fleet the rest of the time, but ended up 5th out of the seven. Just one point behind Rob –not bad company.
Then Saturday afternoon Rob, Tom and Sam sailed with the high school students with starting and race practice. We had eleven Lasers out. Good afternoon.
We will have a cold week and then a little warmer on the weekend.

We really had good winds on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday we managed to get in a triangle course – Marc Solal was tired of just all the up wind and downwind stuff. After the third race on Sunday, I asked Rob if he was going to send us on the triangle and his reply was that we didn’t have enough wind yet. Sam thought plenty of wind and he checked out with the Race Committee and headed in. Young America sailed three more races and had a good time and got the triangle.
The Yates family took advantage of the wind and Alejandro’s absence to rake up the most wins on Saturday with one for Craig and two for Luke while Rob only was able to win the last two.
Finishes corrected time – Luke Yates was sailing a radial both days.
Rob Krentel 3-2-2-1-1 + 1-2-1-1-1-1 = 16
Luke Yates 5-1-1-6-4 + 2-3-2-3-4-3 = 34
Marc Solal 4-6-3-5-3 + 5-4-3-4-2-2= 39
Sam Chapin 2-3-6-2-2 + 3-1-4-ns ns ns= 47
Tom Rhodes 6-5-5-4-5 + 4-5-5-2-3-4 = 48
Craig Yates 1-4-4-3-6 + ns = 64
Claire Epaillard 7-7-7-7-ns+ns = 84
Well Rob set our courses and lead most of the races. The two seconds on Saturday were converted from first place finishes because Luke in the Radial was close behind.
Luke Yates sailed the races on both days and handled the radial well. It was the right sized sail for him on that day. He almost got a win on Sunday, but not quite. On Saturday his total score was one point ahead of Craig.
Marc Solal had his weekend. He was working the starts better and close at the windward mark. On Sunday he had two seconds and is third for the weekend. This is Marc’s best finishes of the year. He and Tom Rhodes have been trading places.
Tom Rhodes was our winner for the weekend last week and I was hoping to get it in the newspaper article – but it didn’t get printed. Somehow Marc sailed over him this weekend, but Tom had a second in the fourth race on Sunday.
Craig Yates is our “Saturday sailor” otherwise he will be finishing ahead of most.
Claire Epaillard was sailing a 4.7 and getting a lot of experience getting around the course, but we need to get some other 4.7 ‘s out with her. It is hard to know if you are doing everything right when you are out there all by yourself..
Craig Yates’ class has a group just ready to join in with us. Craig has asked us to join with them on Saturday afternoon of December 4th (the next club racing). They had 7 Lasers sailing this past Saturday afternoon.

Winter came on Friday night and we struggling to figure out what to wear when the temp is 55 and wind up to 10 or 12..
Alejandro Illera has taken a few day off for car racing and family activities, but we still had a good group (seven) on Saturday. Scots had seven out also. The Wayfarers were playing safety boat duty. MCs were about ten. Bianca Mesa sailed her radial and Rob Krentel had family stuff on Sunday. So we lost four of our seven sailors on Sunday. We may think again about separate series for Saturday and Sunday. I scored it that way a few years ago and the same people won both ways, so we haven’t done it since.
Scores:
Tom Rhodes 4-6-6-5-2-4 + 1-2-1-1 = 32
Sam Chapin 3-2-1-1-5-ns +2-1-nf-ns = 39
Rob Krentel 1-1-1-2-3-1 + 32 =41
Craig Yates 5-3-3-4-3-3 + 32 =53
Bianca Mesa 6-4-4-2-4-2 + 32 =54
Marc Solal 7-7-ns +3-3-2-2 = 56
Patrick Daniel 2-5-5-6-6-ns+32 =64
Now we have Tom Rhodes coming out on top. Great and a Thank You to Alejandro and Rob for missing and letting the rest of us in. Tom has been our Iron Man with the most days sailing this Summer and on Saturday he and Rob sailed with the “big boats” long second race after they got finished with our six races.
Sam thought he might have won the weekend, but you can’t chicken out on races and still have a victory. Yes, some of the big gusts in the third race Saturday sent him in. Chickened out both days.
Rob Krentel collected the most first places and complained he had trouble hearing the starters horn. The LESC race committee has extra power horns, and we have one now. We will see how it works.
Craig Yates collected the most third places and sailed over to start the long race with the “big boats”, but couldn’t sail the whole race as he had the high school sailing classes in the afternoon. Luke’s arm continues to improve and we hope to have him back with us soon.
Bianca Mesa sailed well with her radial. She had the most second places. When I checked her corrected times she came closer to all those ahead of her, but didn’t pass anyone. She was our first woman and first youth. Sorry I forgot to get that in the news release.
Marc Solal had a good time on Sunday. He and Tom were laughing about all the swimming and sailing on Sunday. Sunday was his sort of day and he was leading in the first race, until he turned over in one of the wicked header gusts that we were having.
Patrick Daniel sailed well on Saturday with a second place but he got almost wiped out on that really fast run in the 5 th race that convinced Sam and Patrick that we needed more windy day practice, but maybe on a warmer day.
Next Laser racing in 2 weeks.

October 16 and 17, 2010 Lasers hang in there at Lake Eustis. We had six boats out both Starturday and Sunday with a total of 8 sailors and then 3 more practicing with Lasers after the races on Sunday. The MC fleet has dropped off with only six sailing on Saturday and four on Sunday. The Scot group has sort of taken over top spot with nine on Saturday and dropping off to 5 on Sunday. Several of the Scots are sailing single handed. Sort of to bad for building fleet from the group of crews. Not sure if those skippers just prefer sailing alone when the wind is light or if no one will crew for them twice. The Wayfarers had 6 boats out Saturday and four on Sunday. That is good for them.
Randy Rea came over to sail with the Lasers us on Saturday. He suffered from the light wind and should have been with us on Sunday. Here are combined finishes
Alejandro Illera 1-1-1-1+1-3-1-2-2-1 =10
Sam Chapin 3-3-3-4+3-1-2-3-3-5=30
Rob Krentel 28+2-2-3-1-1-2=39
Randy Rea 2-2-2-2+42 =50
Patrick Daniel 5-6-6-6+4-5-5-6-4-3 =50
Marc Solal 6-5-5-5+6-6-6-5-5-4= 54
Bianca Mesa 4-4-4-3+42 =57
Charlie Jensen 28+5-4-4-4-ns-ns =59
We didn’t use any of the Youth Foundation boats. Bianca was the only youth and the only woman sailing with us. Somehow we need to do better on both things.
Bianca sailed her radial rig and I calculated the corrected times for her and the boats ahead of her. She got close, but her finishes stayed the same. Fourth for the day. We have promised her the loan of a full rig anytime she wants.
The news on Alejandro is that we got to him a little Sunday when the wind was up a little. He got hit with a third in the second race and after five races he and Rob were tied for the day. Then we had a short reaching race in light wind—Alejandro on top.
Sam had a better day on Sunday with a 1 and 2.
Rob got a lot of important work done at home and in the neighborhood Saturday. We were glad to have him back setting marks and stuff on Sunday and keeping Alejandro entertained.
Randy Rea missed Sunday. I am sorry we didn’t see how he could handle our strange winds.
Patrick Daniel sailed both days with us and a good bit of the time was dueling with Marc. Marc, our heavy weight, beat him on the light day and then lost it with the better wind. Hard to figure these things. Patrick worked his way up to third in the last race.,
I asked Marc what Patrick was missing on Saturday and he thinks Patrick should pay more attention to sailing to the “pressure”– sail to the dark water.
Charlie Jensen was back with us on Sunday. Mary had another 39th Birthday party on Saturday and it was a big success. We should have another Birthday Party for Mary when we sail again in November. Charlie had a string of 4th places and then went over to the big course and sailed with the Wayfarers where he finished in the middle. That is an option that any of us have. Our RC should be able to check on the radio when they start there second race. That will give you a extra hour of racing on a long course.
Come and help and watch all the youth sailing the next two weekends.
Tom Rhodes should be back with us the first weekend in November and if we get the high school group with us we will be back up to ten boats starting which will help us with boat to boat tactics.

Laser stuff for October 9 and 10, 2010.
We struggled with light wind and progressive left shift on Saturday. The wind shifted left after Rob set the marks and we had a light wind reach to windward mark and then a broad reach back to the leeward mark. We did it one more time hoping that the wind would shift back. Then Joan drove the RC boat up and changed the windward mark while Rob moved the leeward. Then the wind went more left the mess it up again but not as bad. Ended up with only three light air races.
Alejandro Illera 1-1-1 3
Rob Krentel 2-2-2 6
Sam Chapin 3-3-4 10
Marc Solal 5-6-3 14
Cameron Smith 4-4-6 14
Mike Caputo 7-5-5 17
Claire Epaillard 6-7-7 20
The big news is that Rob passed Alejandro on one of the runs. Well, then Alejandro still beat him to the finish. Maybe it helps to have your wife and daughter on the RC. Yes, Thank you Maribel and Genesis for helping out with RC while Marjorie was playing with the Master Gardeners.
Light wind and our big and heavy weather guy, Marc, was never last and even sailed into 3rd once. Second place in one of the races coming up.
Cameron Smith sailed with us before and handles the boat really well. He was tied with Marc, but Marc had that three, so he slips ahead for the day. Cameron is a good friend of Luke Yates and they have been sailing Lasers together. Luke broke his arm playing football and we are trying to get him into the band. It should be a safer sport.
Mike Caputo came and sailed Patrick Daniel's boat. Mike has sailed with us several years ago, and has an invitation to come and do it again. He claimed he had a good time and learned a lot. He made Claire happy in the first race and then sailed a little better.
Claire Epaillard sailed with us for the first time ahe has been sailing the Laser with the high school group, but not this crazy kind of race and day. She was the winner of our woman's trophy, but we didn't have one.
I really messed up on the race report that I sent to the newspaper. Cameron should have been listed as the first youth and Clarie as the first Woman and second youth.
Now, the part that you are waiting for..to find out how Sam got into second place. That was Sunday and the Lake looked flatter than we had ever seen it. Sam, Alejandro and Rob were the only ones that showed up. Marc was off on his trip to Africa and our Iron-man, Tom Rhodes, was nursing his cold or pneumonia.
Rob and Alejandro looked at each other and said "why not just sail next week when there will be more wind." So they went home to get some of the "home work" done so they would be free for next weekend. Sam excused the RC and sat around talking to what was left of the MC group until a little wind filled in and Dave Williams called for 12 o'clock start for the "big boats". So Sam went out with the Laser to race against Wayfarers but Williams started everyone in one start--- fine, but a 14 foot boat starting with 19 footers and 16 footers is not a very happy camper. A forty minute race and Dave Hepting in a Wayfarer and all the MCs and a couple of Scots beat the Laser. But Sam was the first Laser so when I added that to my 10 from Saturday and Alejandro got a 8 for a DNS on Sunday--- Sam is tied for first for the weekend, but Alejandro has more firsts and so Sam is second. It pays to be the score keeper.

Laser racing for September 25 and 26, 2010.
Lots of ups and downs. Alejandro sailed away from all of us on Saturday and then Ron Baerwitz joined us on Saturday to win the first two races. Rob Krentel won the day by one point leaving Ron and Alejandro tied. The break would go to Ron with the two wins and Alejandro only had one.
The list...
Alejandro Illera2-1-1-1-1+4-2-1-2 =15
Rob Krentel 1-2-2-2-2+2-3-2-1 = 20
Bianca Mesa 4-5-3-3-2+28 ns =45
Sam Chapin 7-7-9-4-4+3-4-4-3 =45
Craig Yates 3-3-5-5-6+28 ns = 50
Ron Baerwitz ns 45 +1-1-3-4= 54
Jerry Beck 6-4-7-7-3+ 28 ns = 55
Tom Rhodes 8-9-4-8-9+5-6-6-6=57
Marc Solal 9-6-8-6-8+6-5-5-5=58
So in spite of taking a hit on Sunday, Alejandro comes out on top by 5 points. What a great Fleet Captain!
Rob had more seconds than anyone around with a bullet on each end of the scoring. Rob sets are marks and calls the races which helps everyone. Thanks Rob!
Bianca Mesa is not allowed to sail on Sunday so she can have her homework done and early for School on Monday, but she got a second place on Saturday (wait, that is supposed to be reserved for Rob) and she was our only woman and youth.
Sam got a 9 on Saturday. I was going around that weather mark – looked around and “gosh” there is no one behind me. But that is alright, I won one of those races on Sunday, except you guys kept going for a seocnd lap.
Coach Craig Yates is really sailing well. He sailed with Sam on Wednesday evening (you are all invited to come also) He got two 3s on Saturday. Moving up.
Ron Baerwitz has been invited to come and sail with us anytime. He is between houses and boats. Recent sale of his Scot to Dean Grimes and Joe Lobato. Interesting idea of co- ownership. We could do that with Laser. One race on Sunday and another on Saturday at half cost.
Jerry Beck is really sailing fast now. 4 and 3 on Saturday and always looking good. He is one of the fellows that can’t come all the time, but adds to the numbers and is working his way up.
Tom Rhodes topped Marc for the weekend, but really took it on the chin on the windy Sunday when Marc beat him three out of four races. We have a plan to overcome that windy handicap.
Marc Solal really climbed out of the cellar on Sunday. He is starting better and doing well up wind. He would have beat me in one of those races, except it was one of the two lappers and I was able to grind him down. He and Tom were one point apart after 9 races.
Catamaran regatta next weekend and then Club racing two weeks in a row. Try to help us keep the numbers up. The more boats on the line the more fun for everybody.

Lots of ups and downs. Alejandro sailed away from all of us on Saturday and then Ron Baerwitz joined us on Saturday to win the first two races. Rob Krentel won the day by one point leaving Ron and Alejandro tied. The break would go to Ron with the two wins and Alejandro only had one.
The list...
Alejandro Illera2-1-1-1-1+4-2-1-2 =15
Rob Krentel 1-2-2-2-2+2-3-2-1 = 20
Bianca Mesa 4-5-3-3-2+28 ns =45
Sam Chapin 7-7-9-4-4+3-4-4-3 =45
Craig Yates 3-3-5-5-6+28 ns = 50
Ron Baerwitz ns 45 +1-1-3-4= 54
Jerry Beck 6-4-7-7-3+ 28 ns = 55
Tom Rhodes 8-9-4-8-9+5-6-6-6=57
Marc Solal 9-6-8-6-8+6-5-5-5=58
So in spite of taking a hit on Sunday, Alejandro comes out on top by 5 points. What a great Fleet Captain!
Rob had more seconds than anyone around with a bullet on each end of the scoring. Rob sets are marks and calls the races which helps everyone. Thanks Rob!
Bianca Mesa is not allowed to sail on Sunday so she can have her homework done and early for School on Monday, but she got a second place on Saturday (wait, that is supposed to be reserved for Rob) and she was our only woman and youth.
Sam got a 9 on Saturday. I was going around that weather mark – looked around and “gosh” there is no one behind me. But that is alright, I won one of those races on Sunday, except you guys kept going for a seocnd lap.
