All around, multiple designs champion sailor, Jeff
Linton, made another successful foray into the "southern Bay and
beyond" from his home in Tampa, FL, this past weekend. Earlier
this season, Jeff, along with wife and crew, Amy, captured the Flying Scot
North American title in Fishing Bay. Sunday, he wrapped up a weekend with
the folks in Elizabeth City, where he won the Classic Moth
National Championship regatta. The competition came down
to the last leg of the last race (7 races with 1 throw-out). Two southern
Bay moth-ers did well at the regatta: Mark Saunders
(Seaford) finished 3rd, and Joe Bousquet (Norfolk) finished
4th.
Anyone reporting race scores, etc. should make note of this
change.
Christopher Newport University takes 6th in 16
team Ocean County College Fall Open at Toms River. Leading
the team were Ben France and Johanna
Faroe. The duo registered a 1st and a 3rd during the two day
regatta. CNU is gearing up for another important regatta this coming
weekend at St. Mary's College in Maryland. Dan Winters (head coach)
and Jim White (assistant coach), CNU Sailing.
The CASH FLOW cockpit was full of wise heads
Sunday - skipper Lloyd Griffin, John Hanna, and Ken Saylor
earned their keep by staying on the shifts, which were often and
dramatic.
On Saturday, four Swift Solo boats made a
brief appearance on the Bay. Conditions proved intolerable for the light,
go fast, home built zoomies. Only two actually survived to do any racing,
but southern Bay homie, Chris Rasmussen, was one of those 2 and
won each of the three races between him and Keith Cooncell.
Dave Hamilton, aka The Dave, noted that these Swift boats
carried no armament.
Mark Wheeler trounced the other 5 Hampton One
Designs (HOD) that sailed in the Serio Regatta
Saturday. Mark had 5 bullets and did not sail the 6th race.
Trevor Pardee finished 2nd and Charlie McCoy
was 3rd. The Serio Regatta is hosted each year by Hampton Yacht Club in
honor of "Pappy" Serio, the designer of the HOD. Race Chairmen were
Malcolm and Kathy Brady.
Answer to RR Quiz Question:
Give the silver cup to Boat A. Boat C is 2nd on the podium and third place
goes to Boat B. In a nutshell, to break a tie in series standings, first
you list the finishes of the tied boats in order of best to worst. At the
first point where there is a difference, the tie is broken in favor of the boat
with the best finish. If there is still a tie, the boats are ranked in
order of their scores in their last race. If there is still a tie, the
scores of the next-to-last race are used and so on until all the ties are
broken. For details, pull out your Racing Rules of Sailing and
read Appendix A - Scoring, section A8, Series Ties. Remember, in the
quiz scenario, once you establish the winner, you are now breaking the tie
between B and C for 2nd, so you start at step 1 of the tie breaking
procedure.
Sunday Afternoon Dinghy Series in Willoughby
Bay : The Series, sponsored jointly by Broad
Bay Sailing Association and Norfolk Naval Sailing Association took a big
step forward in its second week of existence. There were 10 Lasers on the
water along with two 420s and a Mutineer. Willoughby Bay, aka Little
Bay, provided great conditions for small boat racing Sunday. The fleet got
in 6 races. LASER RESULTS: 1.Dave Fagen (NNSA) ;
2.Henry Amthor (HYC); 3.Gillen Elder (ODU). Leon Garber
and Emory Nemeth are points of contact for the Sunday Series. Contact Leon
at (757) 615 -7154 and/or Emory at (757) 549-1788 This
coming Sunday the 420 fleet is expected to grow as a number of NNSA sailors will
have returned from short deployments. So, if you have a little boat and
want to race it, Little Bay is the place for you on Sunday
afternoons.
MURPHY'S LAW: Yrs
Truly, The Racing Beagle, has learned of a high
school sailing team in the southern Bay that must be really, really tough
to beat. Yes, Virginia, there ARE more racing dogs - bulldogs! The mascot
for the Norfolk Academy Team is a BULLDOG. Now, there's a sailing
team with the proper attitude! /S/ Murphy
the Racing Beagle, the sailing spirit in us all.
