The weatherman played tricks on the Lake Eustis Sailing Club over the weekend. Saturday morning fair winds died at noon when the rain came. The expected strong winds never developed. Many of the sailboats paddled back to shore after the last races. On Sunday with the colder temperatures, the predicted pleasant winds turned into strong gusts with several capsizes. Remaining races were then cancelled because of combination of cold temperature and strong winds. The Laser Fleet called it quits after four races and an hour and a half because most of the sailors were just too cold..
MC scow races on Saturday only, with Sunday cancelled. Dave Moorhouse first, Andy Fox second and David Moring third.
Flying scot group Saturday only, with Sunday cancelled. Ron Baerwitz first, Ray Laguna second, and Larry Klick third.
The Wayfarers had a two boat race with Jim and Linda Heffernan of North Carolina winning over Mike Murto of Leesburg.
Dave Chapin was ahead in the Laser fleet over both days with Alejandro Illera second and Rob Krentel third.
High School Sailing and Advanced Optimist pram instruction continues on each Saturday.
This coming week the MC scow “sail faster” clinic is Thursday and Friday with the annual Wayfarer Regatta and MC regatta on Saturday and Sunday.
