LAKE MONROE SAILIING ASSOCIATION

Seven boats participated this week under good and challenging wind conditions. At the 6 p.m. starting time the winds were WSW at 7k as predicted.
It looked like a reach, reach simple Rum Race. By 6:15 we had east winds at 7k for a dead run to the first mark. At 6:30 we had a west wind at 12k. This was fine for the early starters who had rounded the mark before the 180 degree shift. Tom Dyll in his Sea Pearl 21 was first around the mark and in good form. For those who hadn't reached the mark the challenges began. Many tacks into a wind line gusting to 15k. By 7:30 it had returned to an easy WSW as it was when we started. Of the seven boats that started 4 turned in times due to various equipment and wind related issues. The Sea Pearl may have sailed to her first Rum reward but lost the time when Tom's I- Phone got waterlogged in the squall line.

LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

The Lake Eustis Sailing Club Laser fleet had eight boats racing this weekend and was able to get in seven races. Good wind on Starturday before the storm and light squirrely winds between the storms on Sunday made the sailing a challenge. Alejandro Illera won 6 of the seven races and was the leader. Rob Krentel won the other race and was second for the weekend. Patrick Daniel was third.

Youth sailors Seth Behr, Nicole Dormand, Luke Yates, and Chris Nagy went sailing at Deltona Beach while Caroline and Dave Chapin sailed at the Palm Beach Sailing Club.

MC scow boats will race in two weeks as well as the Laser fleet. Lessons for sailors 8 to 18 years of age will start Saturday August 28 at the Lake Eustis Sailing Club.
