This was a great event. The weather presented some big challenges to both Reichard and the skippers. And yes, Washing Machine, is a fitting term. Congratulations to David Brawner for his third NCR win and to Dave Ramos for an impressive defensive effort that fell just a little short. The two of them basically matched race each other while the rest of the fleet battled it out for the remaining positions.
Thank you to Steve Helander, Ron Small, Richard Wiley and the whole crew. You guys really rolled out the red carpet for us and it was much appreciated.
I have 4 sim cards to go through and post photos and as Reichard said, he will have a full report soon. Give us a little bit of time to get this work done.
In the mean time, there is Punta Gorda just around the corner to finish out the year (regatta number 2 for the Florida Association's 2014 season).
