LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

Variety happened at the Lake Eustis Sailing Club’s weekend races. Light wind on Saturday. Sunday there was pleasant wind with small waves interrupted by stronger wind with rain and then the wind fading. The racing was all over when the heavy rain of the afternoon came in.

MC scow class had two races each on Saturday and Sunday with Dave Johnson and Dave Moring swapping first and second. Finally Dave Moring was first and Dave Johnson second and John Hauch came in third for the week end.

Flying Scots have a separate Saturday and Sunday series with Ray Laguna the only one sailing in Saturday’s two races and George Golder and Chris Erichsen exchanging first and second on Sunday. If you score them together for the weekend it is Ray Laguna first, Chris Erichsen second, and George Golder third.

In the Wayfarer Fleet Mike Tighe was first with two wins on Sunday, Jim Lingeman second and Mike Murto third.

The Laser fleet, which has shorter courses, had twelve races over the weekend with Rob Krentel first, Alejandro Illera second , and Sam Chapin third. Ben Getchell was the first youth. He had been the big winner last weekend, but in Saturday’s races he was pushed back to second place. He missed the Sunday racing and that dropped him back to sixth for the weekend.

Two other classes had single boat races because the other boats didn’t come. Othon Dominguez in the C scow and Carlton and Aggie Brown in San Juan Portsmouth.
