The Annual Round Robin Match Racing sailboat contest in MC scows was held at the Lake Eustis Sailing Club this past weekend. Twelve boats were entered and the racing was won by Craig Eaton of Sanford with David Leather of Kissimee second and John Houck of Salt Springs third. Candi Robb of Eustis was the first woman and Jennifer Jones of Eustis was the second woman.
In the usual sailboat race, the boats all start at the same time and race to the finish. In match racing, two boats start together and race each other to the finish. With round robin racing the pairing is rotated till every one sails against all the others individually. Twelve boats equals eleven parings and 66 individual races. They were able to do that even with the dying wind on Sunday and add a “top dog” sail off between the top two over the weekend.
Laser boat racing will continue every other weekend and regular MC racing once a month during the Summer.
Sailing lessons for ages 8 to 18 will begin again on Saturdays in September.
