West
Florida Sunfish Circuit
Clearwater
January 20, 2001
This past Sunday, January 20th,
sixteen sunfish sailors convened at the Clearwater Community Sailing Center to enjoy a
beautiful warm and moderately windy (6-10mph) day of WFSC racing. The race committee ran 3 races (windward-leeward,
twice around) starting A fleet first and then B fleet.
Joe Blouin dominated the A fleet, with
3 bullets, however, he was challenged with moments of glory by Mark Rother, Rita Steele,
and Mindy Strauley.
In B fleet, it was Steve Roberts with
3 victories. Tom Szelistowski, Loretta
Garber, and Carol McDowell battled it out for the 2nd place spot, all tied with
6 points going into the final race. Mark
Peters, new to the circuit, stuck with it to round out the B fleet group.
