By Charlie Berry Yes, it rained all day Saturday, and again Sunday
as we wrapped up, but we did have a light to moderate North wind
for both days, making for decent sailing conditions. The Green
Mountain Regatta also served as the Region One Championship
Regatta this year. We had 14 boats, and sailed as a single
fleet. 11 races were run on Saturday; and 8 races on Sunday.
Day 1 belonged to Rick West (31 pts), followed closely by David
Brawner(33 pts) and Al Dion (34 pts).
Day 2 started off auspiciously for Rick. In the first race,
he forgot to attach a tension line for his sheets, and after a
downwind leg, he couldn't sheet in. In the third race, he had a
winch problem, apparently related to the earlier problem, and he
had to take another last place finish. By the time he got back
in the groove, David Brawner had built an unbeatable lead, and
Al Dion had settled into a solid second place.
Rick ended up tied with Bruce Nourjian for third, beating him
via the tie-breaker. Gary Mueller sailed consistently and
finished fifth. Doug Amsbary was racing in his first EC12
regatta and managed to stay close to the pack in most of the
races.
The overall results were:
1st David Brawner 46 Pts
2nd Al Dion 70
3rd Rick West 76
4th Bruce Nourjian 76
5th Gary Mueller 81
6th Phil Tonks 99
7th Jack Kendra 102
8th Robert Greer 106
9th Bruce Walton 118
10th Jim Linville 125
11th Larry Mazoway 188
12th Paul Fixx 198
13th Doug Amsbary 198
14th Ken Shaw 211
