OK, wot a weekend trying to get a decent course with the wind on your back. We at the Villages have a great lake for running a regatta when the wind is anything but Northerly, well guess what folks the wind was northerly all weekend. Decided on running one fleet when the numbers dropped to 20 boats and apart from a major log jam on the last race when a few tempers flared it was a great success. In 21 races we had 8 different race winners the most memorable being in the 17th race when Frank Novak got his first bullet. It was great to have the slimmed down Joe Walter back in the fleet after a years absence and he showed he had not lost any of his previuos magical skills by having no less than 6 bullets and winner the Regatta by only 1.8 points over Dick Hedderick. Many Rules issues were aired and Ken Morrison did his best to remind skippers of the rules and hopefully many lessons will have been learned and will carry over to the rest of the seasons Regatta's.
Full results:
Joe Walter 60.4 pts
Dick Hedderick 62.2 pts
Dr Robert Greer 82 pts (Pictures to follow)
Baron Bremer 98
Ricky Gerry 115
Jack Ward 125.8
Jon Luscomb 127
John Steacy 157
Dick Reinke 166
Martin Gray 181
Bud Elder 211
Al Stall 215
Brenda Pardee 216
Frankie Novak 219
Jim Pardee 221
Denis Futterlieb 242
Jerry Fernald 267
Jim Rutherford 284
Laura Novak 293
John Harrington 360
I understand that Rick West complained about not having any results last night, my appologies.
Thanks everyone who turned out to the 7th Gator Regatta but regretably it sounds like this may be the last one for a while, probably not till 2013 the way the new schedule is panning out.
