LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

At the Lake Eustis Sailing Club high winds shut down Saturday’s regatta sailing last week and this week the unseasonable cold did the same to Saturday’s club racing.

The Laser fleet sailed Saturday and Sunday while Alejandro Illera won all five races. Rob Krentel was second and Marc Solal third.

The other boats sailed on Sunday with Mike Baldacchino, the first MC scow and John Houch, the second. Jim Hoffman was third.

Larry Klick was the first Flying Scot. Ray Laguna was the second and David Asaibene third.

Wayfarer race was won by David Hepting. Mike Murto was second and Jim Lingeman was third.

While the boats were racing Sunday on Lake Eustis, in the Mediterranean off the coast of Valencia, Spain the 90 foot BMW Oracle trimaran with a vertical airplane wing for a sail was winning the second race of the America’s Cup races and winning back the Cup for a United Sates Yacht Club.

For next weekend warmer weather with more stable wind are predicted for the Lake Eustis 40th Annual George Washington Birthday Regatta. About 70 boats are expected in 5 classes.

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.
