2001 Sunfish Superbowl
Bay-Waveland Yacht Club
Bay St. Louis, MS

 Seventeen Sunfish and four 420s rigged and then waited in the bar on this calm Superbowl Saturday. After an hour delay, a light shifty breeze filled in on the Bay of Saint Louis. The tide was coming in, a lot stronger than most of us expected, and kept most of us off the starting line and some others on the weather mark for most of the races.

 David Blouin blasted into an early lead with back to back bullets. David did make the regatta interesting by finishing 14th in the third race. He wanted to come to play with the big boys…brothers (Todd and Clinton), 2000 Jr Sunfish NA Champion Karl Klienschrodt, and Mallory Champion Marc Eagan. David came back strong in the last race with a 5th to beat Donnie Brennan and Tom Whitehurst by one point.

 Interesting points…Eight points separated first through ninth. Only three sailors had all single digit finishes and finished third through fifth overall. Only five sailors had all top ten finishes. There were five masters three women, and six juniors who participated in this regatta.

 Was the Sunfish Superbowl more exciting than Superbowl? Most definitely!
