Frost Bite Series-12 races                              Jim Kusche

This is the first year since 1997 that the weather has cooperated to provide enough races to award this early trophy.   

 

Col. Peet (Long Distance)                            Jan and Russ Kincaid

The traditional July fourth race was a long distance affair this year, unfortunately the wind didn’t cooperate.  Jan Kincaid had the patience and concentration to outlast us all finishing first over the 3 hour course.  

 

Summer Series    35 races

Although the weather may not have set any records the racing turned out to be very good.  We got in 35 races and had some very challenging winds on more than one occasion.  Sailors this year really took on the challenge. 

                Overall-                 Jim Kusche

                Centerboard-         Peter Whiting  

                Large Boat-            Russ Kincaid

                Most First Places-  Jim Kusche

  

Sailing Progress Award                 Bob Sloan

It’s been 11 years since this trophy has been awarded.  Bob clinched this trophy on 2 especially heavy air race days by single handling a Hobie 16 in 20-30 mph winds.  One of these Sundays the race committee recorded 38 mph winds.  Nice job Bob.
