LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

The new decade of the Lake Eustis Sailing Club started poorly with rain just starting at midnight New Years Eve. Cold and rain on New Years Day cancelled the sailing they had planned for that day and the sailors went directly to the pot luck lunch. Saturday in the first day of racing one motor boat wouldn’t run, while Jim Lingeman who won the first Wayfarer race capsized in a wind gust in the second race. He and his crew were brought ashore to get warm dry clothes and the boat was rescued later.
Winners in the coldest weekend of the last and this decade were Dave Moring in MC scows with Tim Fredman second and Scott Tillema third. Larry Klick won all four Flying Scot races with George Golder second and Ray Laguna third. The Wayfarer races were won by Jim McIntyre, second was Dave Hepting with Jim Lingeman third. The Laser races had Alejandro Illera first, Rob Krentel second and Jerry Beck third.
Optimist pram classes for youth sailors on Saturday were postponed for a little warmer weather.
