Wessagussett Yacht Club
Weymouth, Massachusetts
June 27, 1998
Our sponsor, Eastern Yacht Sales, supplied us with beautiful trophies and we would like to thank them for their continued support. We had 16 Sunfish and 4 Lasers.
We got our first three races off in the morning with winds approximately 10 m.p.h.. As lunch time rolled around so did the wind and the incoming weather front. Winds increased dramatically and the rains came. This was the perfect time to take our lunch break and wait for the rain to pass by. When we returned to the course, the winds were 15-20 knots. We managed to get five races in with one throw out. We had a couple of boats that broke equipment and our laser friends could not keep their boats upright for a fifth race.
The race committee (Cliff Willy and family, aboard Happy Hour) did a wonderful job running the races and making sure everyone made it to shore safely. Thanks to Wessagussett Yacht Club for providing us with a delicious steak dinner meal afterwards. Hope to see you next year.
