2002 HYC Frost Bite Series could not have had a finer day yesterday for the last race. Well, it would have been nicer if the Force 3 conditions (8 - 12 knots) that greeted the racers had not diminished to Force 1 (1 - 3 knots) before everyone finished. When all was said and done, there were no surprises in the top spots. Congratulations to fleet winners Christian Schaumloffel, Rusty Burshell, John Blais, Bob Old, and Scott Wolff . FINAL SERIES FLEET LEADERS: PHRF A: 1. Mirage, C. Schaumloffel; 2. Cheryl Lea, Ben Weeks; 3. Feather, Phil Briggs. PHRF B: 1.Cool Change, R. Burshell; 2. PF Flyer, Larry Preddy; 3.

HUNT/MILLER DOMINATE OLYMPIC PRE-TRIALS IN HOUSTON

Our homies, Steven Hunt and Michael Miller, won 5 of 7 races sailed this past weekend in Houston.

The wind speed was Force 3 on the Beaufort Scale.Sitting close was one way to stay somewhat dry and maybe warm. The finish line, set at the entrance to Hampton River, looked especially inviting to most of the cold-hunched racers. RESULTS …

FBYC Coach's Team Wins Intercollegiate Sloops

Lud Kimbrough on Tuesday November 5, 2002 06:25PM

The College of Charleston used a strong finish to win the ICSA North American Sloop Championship held this past weekend at the New York Yacht Club. The Cougars used a second-place finish in the last race to come from behind to take the win away from Hobart. The four-man team included FBYC Coach Blake Kimbrough. If you think it's cold and rough in Deltaville, try Newport on Day Two with gusts over 22 knots: Four races were sailed with the last two non-spinnaker due to three ripped spinnakers, two torn mainsails, two broaches including a great death roll by Navy, and full-planing, hold-on for dear life conditions at times downwind.

Happy Halloween from Tim and ??

FBYC Communications Survey Results

Strother Scott on Monday November 4, 2002 09:37AM

The recent survey showed that the communications from FBYC are really good. Thanks to everyone who participated. At the CCV dinner Randy Alley drew Ric Anderson's name from the 120surveys submitted. As a result he won a Free pass for 2003 social events

I conclude that FBYC will best communicate though a combination of a printed monthly Log, timely e-mail notices and a continuously updated web site. The results of the survey are now available on-line
