The One Design Division ended the season with the frostbite regatta that wasn’t much of a frostbite.  Sailors were treated to temps in the low 70s and winds that reached the double digits.

The Flying Scot fleet saw each boat win a race with Ric and Sharon Bauer winning the tiebreaker race to the dock to win the day.

The ILCA Fleet saw …
