LAKE MONROE SAILING ASSOCIATION
To all LMSA Members and Friends:
Yesterday, March 27th, Sailors from the Lake Monroe Sailing Association headed to Crescent City to participate in the Crescent City Yacht Club's 2nd annual regatta.
The winds were brisk around 15 mph out of the Northeast which kept a couple of sailors off of the course but as they say, the show must go on. The race committee held three races on beautiful Lake Crescent. Confusion during the start of the first race as sailors, due to the wind did not here the horns signals from the committee boat. Game Over, Gene Cocoran's C-22 piloted by John only flew the Genoa which confused racers because Game Over was as fast on one sail compared to the others boats.
LMSA sailors took home four out of the six trophies handed out yesterday. Congratulations to Monkey Butt helm by Byron Hick for capturing first place in the board boat division. Sanford's own Andy Forrest and Mike Padgett took Show Me to a second LMSA First Place win in the Portsmouth division. Vulcan Mermaid helm by Jeff Herter crewed by daughter Rebeca, Grandson Michael and Greg Archambault & Susie Dix grabbed third placed in Portsmouth division. Mike Loughlin and Bill Kruger captured a controversy third place in the board class by only sailing one race.
Congratulation go to Gene and John on Game Over for a second place in Portsmouth class and Jim and Margaret Davis for their second place in the board boat division.
The Lake Monroe Sailing Association holds monthly meetings and sailing events on and around Lake Monroe. Come out and Sail.

LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB
The Lake Eustis Sailing Club held their Annual MC scow Midwinter Championship Regatta this past Thursday , Friday and Saturday with 73 boats from 15 states sailing 5 races. Sunday the visitors from up North were on their way home.
The overall winner was Rob Seidelman of New Jersey, Rob Terry of Michigan was second, with local sailors Andy Fox third and David Moring third.
The boats all started together on a mile long starting line, but prizes are awarded on the basis of age groups. Those under 50 years: Rob Seidelman first, David Moring second, Ted Keller of Michigan third. 50 to 60: Rob Terry of Michigan first, Andy Fox, of Florida second, Eric Hood of Wisconsin third. 60 to 70: Skip Moorhouse of New Jersey first, Lee Sayler of Florida second and Tim Fredman of Wisconsin third. Over 70: Rob Miller of Michigan first, Jack Kern of Texas second and Ron Reese of Michigan third.
Amy Larkin of Georgia was the only woman, although a few years ago the regatta was won by a woman. Ham Morgan of Texas was the only youth.
The races were sailed on Thursday with many of the boats adding crew to be able to manage the higher winds. With the lighter winds of Friday, most were back to the single sailor mode. On Saturday the last race scheduled was cancelled because the wind was shifting from very light to none.
The Melges Boat Works of Zenda, Wisconsin put on a “how to sail fast” clinic for 22 boats on Tuesday and Wednesday before the racing began.
This coming weekend the sailing club resumes youth sailing lessons with a start up class for beginning Optimist sailors on Saturday and club racing on Saturday and Sunday.

LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB
The Lake Eustis Sailing Club’s three day Midwinter Championship races for C scows and Melges 17 scows was wet and exciting with rain on Friday and strong winds on Saturday and Sunday.
C scows had Tom Keenan of Michigan and Lee Sayler local sailing club member from Jupiter, Florida tied for first after the first day of racing. Still tied after the second day of racing, but then Keenan pulled away in the three races on Sunday to win the championship. Lee Sayler was second for the weekend and Don Fancher, local sailing club member, third.
The Melges 17 scow class was won by Peter Lane of California, second was Lesa Gutenhurst of Wisconsin with Jim Hilgard of Michigan third.
C scow winner Tom Keenan is son of Frank and Vera Kennan of Eustis who are long time pillars of the local sailing. Tom was sailing with his son and daughter crewing for him.
The C scow is a design that has been sailing for 102 years and the Melges 17 scow is a recent design with many modern changes.
Next week is the Annual MC scow Midwinter Championship which usually draws 80 to 90 boats.
