PRSA Hangover Regatta – January 1, 2011

What a day! We had our biggest Laser regatta ever today, 33 boats. Thanks to all that traveled to join us to help us push over the 30 boats mark. The weather could not have been better with temps in the 50’s and a south breeze 7-12 mph. We sailed in the river with the current coming in throughout the racing. There were 5 races.

Tim Zimmerman was untouchable with four firsts in five races and won the regatta handily.

Special thanks to our RC for the day Nabeel Alsalam, Rob Young, Collette Bolton, Mike Heinsdorf & Tom Berlin. Thanks also to Adam Dolezal who provided hot dogs for those who stuck around after racing.

Fall Series #8 – 11/07/2010

Our last Sunday Series race day of the year proved to be just what one could have hoped for. Sunny, breezy, and fun. The Hobie fleet handled the RC work for what at first looked might be a blow out, but turned into one of the nicest days of the Fall series. 3 Albacores and 7 Lightnings braved the forecast and reaped the rewards. Scores after the break:

Fall Series #7 10/31/2010 Results

Halloween proved to be a treat this year. Temps in the 60’s and NW winds 10-20. 6 Lightnings, 2, Albacores, 2 Buccaneers, and 1 Hobie were all we could muster for this beautiful fall Sunday. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?????? Sigh… Anyway, RC was ably manned by Erich Hesse and the Albacores, who got 4 races in for the lucky people who came out to sail. Scores after the break:

Fall Series #6 10/24/2010 Results

What a beautiful day to be on the water. Temps were in the 70’s, winds from the south @ 8-12. They just don’t get any better than that. Rick Welch was the PRO for the day and he and his able crew of Lightning and Buccaneer RC did an outstanding job. they set up a really nice windward/leeward course off of Haines Point, and snapped out 4 nice races with little to no down time in between them. Well done guys (and gals). The most notable thing on the day was the awesome turnout of Albacores. 9! count ’em 9 Albs came out to play. The Stim-you-later certainly did his job. Also in attendance were 2 Cats and 5 Lightnings for this great day of sailing. Scores after the break:

Fall Series #5 10/17/2010 Results

2 Albacores, 3 Buccaneers, 3 Cats, and 6 Lightnings went out to play on Sunday 10/17/2010. I was not out there, so i can’t give a complete description of the day, but it must have been fast and furious as the Lightnings got in 6 races, and everyone else got in 5 before calling it a day. Scores after the break:
