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.

Next Saturday, September 19, the Lake Eustis Sailing Club Youth Foundation will have an Open House from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM for high school age youth and their parents to see the activities, enjoy boat rides, pizza and soda.

LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

We sail informally on Wednesday evening and I will just throw in this report. Our high school sailors are mostly doing school sport right now.

I don't know what is happening to this crazy Portsmouth thing. Ray Laguna wants to form a Portsmouth Fleet. Like we don't have one. Hey, what has Sam been doing for the past 3 years??

Then it looks like the Carlton and Aggie Brown with the San Juan 21 are the only ones really interested. They have the boat is the water and ready to go but not wind and no RC. Then they are off to check on grand babies-- that's OK, there is no wind and no RC anyway. Ray knows that the wind will be bad so he is off firing his pistol with gun group.

Now Jim Orth with the Lido wants to sail P. Ron Stevenot (new member) the granddaughter and the Omega want to sail P. Charles Mancino and the Precision 15 think that racing P would be a step up from single cruising. Steve Hayden (the lightening guy) will send the little fellow out in the Sunfish with the Lasers.

Now Wednesday evening, the folks that started all this, Carlton and Aggie Brown show up with Kevin Somebody that wants to join LESC and race his Oday Day Sailor. That is another P boat.

Now that is great, right. New members, growing new fleet-- but then they all get in Lasers. Carleton Brown, Aggie Brown, Kevin got emergency call and couldn't stay, Kim Kelley (full rig is a fair amount of wind), DENNIS OLDHAM, (RETIRED AND RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO DO-- ask him about the wind, Darcy Jensen (one of our regulars and has to go home to study CALCULUS. I am glade I don't go to high school these days.) Luke Yates in Laser and part of time with the neighbor kid on the bow. Sasha had the Opti out. Craig Yates brought his new/old Phantom (like a biggish Sunfish)out and Darcy sailed it some.

Gosh, if those P guys would just sail Lasers it would save a lot of fuss.

The Pizza Lady came through. We saw the rest of the "Morning Light". They made it to Hawaii, but didn't win. Sam is glad he doesn't have a 52 foot boat and can sail and then go home for dinner and TV. Luke want to do the Morning Light trip and be the guy they hoist to the top of the mast to see if they can see Hawaii yet.

Next week it is back to North U and we will try to get the marks out earlier to have some race starts if any of the P fleet guys want to sail Lasers again.

Any way it was a lot of fun and sunset is about 7:28 now.

LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

Fog, then light wind, then no wind, then changing wind did in the Lake Eustis Sailing Club’s Labor Day Regatta that was attempted this past Saturday and Sunday. This was to be the winter season opener for the club MC scows, Flying Scots and Wayfarers. They waited and waited, but couldn’t get any races in.

The Laser fleet, that sails a shorter course, managed 2 races on Saturday and 4 races on Sunday with High School sailor Ben Getchell winning all six races and the Championship. Second, but first adult was Alejandro Illera and third was Rob Krentel.

Optimist pram sailing lessons for youth ages 8 to 15 continues on Saturdays with High School Sailing Team practice on Saturday afternoons.

Next weekend Club Racing continues on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday, September 19, from 4:30 to 6:30 is an open house for 8th to 12th grade students and parents to see what sailing is all about. Complimentary boat rides, pizza and soda are planned.

The first invitational regatta of the season is October 3 and 4, and is the annual catamaran regatta.
