Origins of MC Scow Fleet 89

Gaskin found boat no 1426 in Charleston, Bob Walrath purchased 1669 from Tom- my, who found boat #1874 locally. Ever- ett Rice and John Kester got involved and found good MC’s and sold/donated them to LMSA where we started to add the MC to our sailing program. The rest is history! From the first boat to the first 3 boats, now we have 28 boats in fleet 89, and there is a story behind each one!! Why . . . how did this happen? In a day when many sailing clubs have lost their sailing programs, we at LMSC are flourishing.

In yet another testimony to con- sistency, Bud Buckwell won top honors in our MC Scow All Season Series for 2018. Pleased to have won in a growing fleet of rapidly improving MC Scow sail- ors, Ryan Gaskin was happy to have his name posted as winner of the MC Scow Fleet Championship Perpetual Trophy among others on our display wall. Fran Trap was recognized as Sailor of the Year for her efforts at represent- ing our club in National Ensign Fleet competition and organizing the Ensign Midwinter Regatta that we host annual- ly. In service or sailing performance, participation and consistency are cer- tainly deserving of reward.
