Ft. Meyers Series: Feb 6, 2005By John Kremski Our February 6 race had a really great turn-out, with fourteen (count'em - 14!!) boats turning out for a breezy day. At the suggestion of Jack Scragg; the sailors were broken up into "A" and "B" fleets - had a few "A" fleeters try to pass themselves off as "B" fleet material; but the RC put a stop to that! With great planing conditions, we did five modified olympic triangle races (windward-reach-reach-windward-leeward-finish course). The Hyatt family was plagued with gear breakdowns, with John's rudder pin falling overboard after the first race, and Aline pulling a mainsheet pulley off of her boom after race 3 - even a Sunfish needs some maintenance!! The scoring was close in both fleets. In "B" Fleet Phil MeWhinney beat out Jim Summers in a tie breaker for first, followed by Bob Howe in third, and in "A" Fleet John Kremski (after capsizing TWICE in the last race) edged out Jack Scragg in a tie for first, followed by Rose Rowland edging out Damien Lin in a tie for third place, followed by Scott Sutton in 5th. We finished up in time for all the football fans to get home in time for the super-bowl. Our next regatta is on March 20, Sunday. We'll follow the races with a cook-out and socializing, so come on down and have a great time! If you want to use a club boat, PLEASE let me know in advance, so I can reserve one for you - we are getting all the boats out regularly now. If you want to come out and ride on the committee boat, and just have a great day on the water you are welcome to do that, too! RESULTS:A Fleet
