COMMENTS:
1.
All scores included a throw out since we had 10 races.
2.
T.C. Liming won the tie-breaker with Shaun Gallagher for the
fifth place trophy .
3.
Lucas Galarza chose to leave after six races, although he was in
second place, because a sister was visiting from out of town. He was scored DNS
(Did Not Start) in the last four races.
4.
Michelle Thomas retained her Portsmouth Division championship.
Stephan VerHulst, who won the Green Fleet competition last year, placed second
in Red, White and Blue this year.
5.
Both Optimist fleets raced as one class but officials scored them
separately.
6.
There were some great starts. No one was OCS and officials did
not have to use the “I” flag.
7.
There were some very close finishes, especially involving Alicia,
Garrett and Stephan.
8.
Conni Muscato provided two boxes of
cupcakes for all the sailors. Thank you very much.
9.
Some tips for future reference:
a.
Stay off the course after you’ve finished. Do not come back
through the start/finish line.
b.
Try to avoid over standing the windward mark or the finish line.
c.
You should not ask the race committee whether or not you are over
the line at the start.
d.
Some sailors insist on sitting in the back of their boats. That
will not help their scores.
