Two weekends ago, sixty boats sailing for the Laser District 13 Championship Regatta (all of Florida) had very light winds on Saturday and a real blow on Sunday with gusts over 30 MPH and multiple capsizes. This past weekend it was rainy, cold, but with pleasant winds.

The Championship Regatta standard rig division was won by 18 year old Michael Zonnenberg of Tampa , grandson of local sailor Martin Zonnenberg Sr. Second was Luke Lawrence of Palm City and third David Chapin of Winter Springs. Eric Lawrence of Palm City was the first youth in this group. Tampa’s Conner Blouin won the radial division with Erika Reineke second. She was also the first youth and first woman. Liam McCarthy of St. Pete won the 4.7 fleet followed by Sophie Naughton of Marblehead, MA and Martin Hood of St. Pete.

In local racing in the rain this past weekend Rob Krentel was first in Laser with Sam Chapin second and Marc Solal third. Flying Scot races were won by Ray Laguna, second Chris Erickson, and third Dean Grimes and Joe Lobato. Bob Newland won both MC scow races with Jack Kern seocnd and Geoff Moehl third.
