Sailors from Canada and 13 states were overcome by the weather on Saturday that shut down Washington DC with record snow fall and brought high winds to Lake Eustis. The winds caused 17 capsizes and cancellation of the races for the day.
The Lake Eustis Sailing Club was conducting a two class regatta with the Mid Winter Championship for the Wayfarer class that started on Friday and continued Sunday. Peter and Alex Rahn from Canada won all three races and the championship. Jim and Linda Heffernan from North Carolina were second with Richard Johnson and Michele Paarish third. Mike Murto and Izak Kielmovitch were the first local boat and fourth.
The MC scow regatta ended with just two races on Sunday. Rob Seidelman from New Jersey won both races and was first. Andy Fox from Chulota, Florida was second and Tim Fredman from Wisconsin third.
Regular club racing continues next week with advanced Optimist pram classes and 420 training for youth on Saturday.
In two weeks the Lake Eustis Sailing Club will hold the 40th Annual George Washington Birthday multi class regatta at Lake Eustis.
