Wednesday Night Series 1 - 10, June 7, 2023

Results Race ( 1 - 10 )

Thank you race committee members of Tom Graham, Mike Macleod, Mark Turner, Doug Early, April Macleod, and Paul Morris.   When I think of this race, I will always think of the difficulties in starting while another fleet is going through the gate.  As one competitor said, “It was an interesting race”.   There were 45 boats out on this last night of series 1, but there were two fleets with outstanding attendance this evening with 9 boats participating in the Melges 24 fleet and 9 boats in the Mid-PHRF fleet.  What a remarkable feat by these fleets.
 
There were some exceptional performances by individuals this evening.  In the High Cruiser fleet, Bob Morris and Alex Mazurek were hunting down the top guys in their fleet,  while in the Melges 24 fleet Mike Krantz and Tony Cellamare finished first and second in this very tough one-design fleet.  John McCarthy rose to the 2nd place spot in his Low PHRF fleet this evening while the battle for the top spot in the Mid PHRF fleet was decided by this last race.  She-Devil finally took the top spot this week in the J-24 fleet while Chris Beisner in Firefly cemented his 2nd place position in the High PHRF fleet. 
 
Just a reminder that we will have a fantastic dinner before the award ceremony on Wed, June 14 at the clubhouse with everyone gathering around 6:30.  We will begin Series 2 next Wednesday, June 21 and will have 2 races before we break for a week during the week of the 4th of July.  There will be no race on July 5 and series 2 will continue on July 12 for Race 2-3.
 
Thanks to Betty Terrell and Brendon Martelino for these shots of the Mid-PHRF fleet and Large Sportboats.

See you at the awards,    Dana
