So now things get serious-The 2014 EC-12 National Championship Regatta

Race Week--EC 12 National Championship Regatta--Day 2, Fri. 9-19
arrrrrrr ye scurvy dogs -we'll hit 'em with a broadside then board 'em--we come
to loot, burn and sink ! grape shot in the 24 pounders lads then it's cutlass work !
Today was "Talk Like A Pirate Day" by the way. (arrrrrrrr)
Capn' Brawner had us decamp from the main lake at Vernon Hills and head overland to the long narrow "fountain lake" , which is behind the pavilion at the southeast corner of Big Bear Lake. it was sunny and warm ( the high today was in the mid 70s) with a south wind 4 to 6mph when racing began on the windward /leeward course. "A" rigs were fine but it was obvious the breeze was freshening as the morning progressed, 6 races were run by noon and the lunch break - the wind had already started to be in the mid teens, so shorted rigs went on the boats after that.By today's end 24 races have been completed so far .
Here's the top ten

2nd.............Mark Rinehart............51
3rd.............Dave Ramos.................53

Race Week-EC 12 Nats--Sat 9-20-14 Day 3----FINAL Results
Interesting day today, heavy winds were predicted and afternoon storms.
at 9am it was partly cloudy,south winds @ 5mph and building, so the 22 yachts
starting had to decide between "A" or "B" rigs. The wind did increase but eased
later.The goal was for 36 races for this regatta--33 were run in total, by 1:30 pm
the drizzle began and the event was done. Lets get right to the results..............
