Five members of the Women‘s ECSA Racing series participated in two days of intense match racing at Rollins College. With winds gusting to 28 knots, three of the Fast Lane team members challenged collegiate sailors Marci and Winnie Butz, who repre- sented the University of South Florida, and two teams who represented Rollins College. Two other Fast Lane Ladies crewed for Jerry Butz, owner of Boater‘s Exchange. The competition was intense and definitely brought the skills of our local ECSA ladies to a new level.
