LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

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.

LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

Ten sailors at the Lake Eustis Sailing Club mastered the light winds and heat of the weekend. They managed five short races each day in their Laser sail boats while the other class boats continued the Summer vacation. Winner for the weekend was Dave Chapin followed by Rob Krentel second with Alejandro Illera third.

Next weekend the Sailing club will take part in the tenth Annual Summer Sailstice, which is a celebration of the sailing on the longest days of the year in the northern hemisphere. This is a world wide event, linked on the internet. The local sailors have invited sailing groups from central Florida to come and sail with them on Lake Eustis. They expect 30 or 40 visiting sail boats of a variety of types. Instead of regular races on Saturday there will be a Poker Run, a Pot luck and Sunset celebration. On Sunday a pancake breakfast, fun sail and tour of the Arnold Boat shop.

In two weeks the Laser class will race again.
