This regatta is the first regatta in the Florida EC-12 2019-2020 Series. It is always a fun regatta. John Goldsworthy, Commodore of the host club The Villages Model Yacht Squadron, reports that 10 EC12's have been sailing in their club races this summer. It is just one month away so get your planning done and enter now.

Skippers, as per our annual meeting, your 2019-20 dues are due. You can hand them directly to me at this regatta, but please have your $10 check or cash in a sealed envelope with your name on it. That way I can still work on rigging my own boat. I also plan on being at the Punta Gorda regatta if you miss this chance. Thanks for your help-Brenda

2019 EC12 Gator Regatta
by: John Goldsworthy

The annual and popular Gator Regatta for EC12 was held at Ashland Pond, The Villages, FL, on November 9,10 Nineteen skippers had registered for the regatta. This event kicks off the 2019-2020 EC12 regatta season in Florida. Skippers were divided into two fleets, A and B. The promotion/relegation system was used. Entries included many fine skipper and past national champions so competition was tight.

Ashland Pond provides perfect sailing conditions for all wind directions but north. Saturday morning arrived with strong and gusty winds from the north. Though it took some creativity, the race team managed to set a reasonably fair course which included a reaching start to a leeward mark and then a beat to weather. Competitors sailed this course two and a half times around before finishing at the weather and offset marks. Nine races were completed Saturday before we retired to a local eatery for a fine meal.

Sunday dawned with no major changes to the sailing conditions. Winds continued from the north, but they were light and variable. Each heat had 10-11 sailors as 4 were promote from B and four relegate down from A. This made for tight and competitive racing. Three skippers from the local fleet sailed their first regatta. A significant number given the aging population within the EC12 class.
