Plenty of good wind this AM-Now that we are ready to race, the wind is dying. (Tim Gould) Heavy wind for Race 1. Ray's boat had equipment failure. Paul, Hannah and Dan went to her rescue. Paul got soaked from the waist down, requiring a clothing change in the last five minutes before the start...he and Taylor left the harbor with a minute twenty on the clock and promptly ran a foul of Eric in the harbor (All of this happened after he had to craft a metal piece to repair his sail right before the race as well...phew). Poor Tom O'Grady had a tough race. He struggled to get out of the harbor, his equipment kept kicking up, forcing him to run aground three different times. When he finally got started, he sailed well and then had sail issues, dumping his boat twice unintentionally and a third time to fix his problems. In spite of his issues he finished the race with a smile (and blue lips). Good recovery Tom! Chris said he was struggling with the wind and almost lost control of his boat, crewed by Tom's family, their only concern was that he needed to "Just sail faster" to catch Jay and Melissa as they raced ahead. The entire three races were extremely tight with Paul, Tim, Dave, Meghan, Jay and Bob finishing within seconds of each other in every race. Spectacular racing! Not only was the racing intense, but the docking under the high wind conditions, with limited dock space was not for the faint of heart. Two T-bones on docks and only one sailor falling in seemed lucky by the time we were finished. Though Tom Gould appeared to have shaken something loose on impact and Jay's boat may need a little fiberglass work next spring! Cheryl says that Elaine pushed her, that she didn't really fall in as she left her boat...All were tucked in safe and sound by the end of race three, ready to enjoy the fabulous food and music. Hats off to the chefs (Chris, Karen, Jay, Melissa & TL) and the band (Sawed Off)...your efforts made our fabulous day of racing even more special and complete. If you missed this event plan for next year...it was awesome! RACE 9/4/2004 RACE ET CORRECTED ET MM SS MM.HH TIMES D-PN Pts.

August 31, 2004 Firecracker Regatta Race Results and Olympic Photos By Paul Willing - Sheet Editor Although we couldn't attend this race series, our excellent club log entries provided enough race data and descriptions to publish results. I don't know how many of you caught any of the Olympic sailing action this month (it took some effort since it wasn't exactly primetime) but for those who didn't here's a couple of action shots. Race committee Hanna Gould and Kaseena Shrebe. A great race with a mixed up start timing. We had a bit of a drifter for the first leg (out to Bird Island) but then the wind filled in.

That is right, 38 years (Ben assured me this whole thing started in 1967). This years' racing will commence on Saturday. As in every year since 1967, we are at the mercy of the Big Lake wind patterns. For those of you that need to get yourselves to the Club on Saturday morning, rest assured that we will not start before 11:00 AM even if there is wind before that time. I hope to stage 5 races over the two days of racing (Saturday and Sunday).
