LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

After last weeks excitement of three regattas and a train wreck that was not reported in the local newspapers, the Lake Eustis Sailing Club returned to club racing and the struggle with light winds in the morning and brisk winds in the afternoon.
The Wayfarer fleet did safety boat duty on Saturday and Jim Lingeman won both Wayfarer races on Sunday. David Hepting and Mike Murto were tied for second.
In the large MC scow sailing over both days David Moring was first, Jon Pomerleau was second, and Lee Sayler was third. Candi Robb was first woman.
Don Browning won three of the four races over the weekend to lead the Flying Scot fleet with Ray Laguna second and George Golder third.
Alejandro Illera continued to lead the Laser fleet with Rob Krentel second and Sam Chapin third.
Jennifer Burno was first woman and Pearce Pomerleau was the first youth. Patrick Hall visiting from England showed some British roll tacks, but was a little mystified by the light winds and finished in the middle of the pack.
Richard Kinnie won both C scow races on Saturday.
The continued Optimist pram sailing lessons for ages 8 to 15 and coaching for the high school club 420 sailors continued this past Saturday.
Next week the Lake Eustis Sailing Club’s 39 th annual George Washington Birthday Regatta will hold practice racing on Friday and Regatta racing on Saturday and Sunday.
