We had a great turnout for the 2016 Rookie Regatta, with 15 boats on the water and new sailors or crew in new positions on almost all of them! The wind was a bit tricky, but we still managed to run 4 races. There was plenty of time left afterward to enjoy a beautiful sunny afternoon on shore with some BBQ & beer as we all chatted about the racing and celebrated the rookies! Thanks to all who volunteered and — especially — to all the rookies who came out to give things a try. We hope to see you out on the water again soon!
Congratulations to the following teams for winning their respective classes in the 2016 PRSA Rookie Regatta:
- Albacores: Michael Heinsdorf & “Rookie Pam” (who drove at least 2 of the 4 races!)
- Buccaneers: Jeff Neurauter & “Rookie Adam”
- I-20s: Molly Houston (Rookie Skipper!!) sailing with Rick Loheed
- Lightnings: Brint (Rookie Skipper!!), Kendra (Rookie Crew!!), and Will, providing tutelage to two rookies on his boat and guiding them to a win in the class with two bullets in four races!
