This past year the southern Bay was graced with some wonderful visiting racers. One of them has been named Rolex Yachtsman of the Year.   Jeff Linton won the Flying Scot North American Championship, hosted by Fishing Bay Yacht Club in  June, and the Classic Moth National Championship at Elizabeth City, NC, this past September.   Rubbing elbows with the very best in the sport is always a good thing. By the way, Jeff is 45 years old and often sails with his wife Amy.  In 2007 he "owned" the Lightning Class, too - won the Lightning Worlds, South American, and Winter Championships.  Yikes!

PHRF SPLITS update:  A week ago (January 7) PHRF delegates from the SOUTH DIVISION of the southern Bay met  to consider two proposals for changes in the 2007 fleet splits for 2008.  The meeting was open to all PHRF members.  No decision was made as of the close of the meeting.  The splits will be determined by the delegates.  Change or not to change and, if to change, to what to change... all have ramifications.  The delegates are working on it, but there is no white smoke from the chimney yet.
