John Freal Sheriff of the Western Shore and Randy Bruns
In a fresh southeasterly breeze, 44-year-old 35-foot wooden Dickerson Ketch Rainbow, sailed by John Freal and Doug Sergeant, won the 7th Western Shore Round Up held at the West River Sailing Club.
Captain Freal received the honor of becoming the 2013 Sheriff of the Western Shore plus the trophy for the 35/36 class. Other class winners included Dickerson Commodore Dave Fahrmeier and Siobhan in their D 41 Down Home, and, first time racers, Ken and Maggie Bernholz in their D 37 Morning Light.
Our thanks to Randy and Barb Bruns for organizing this terrific get together. It was perfect weather for the weekend of Sptember 6-7 with the Friday night cook out at the West River Sailing Club, followed by Saturdays race of 7 Dickersons and a sumptuous dinner at Pirates Cove Restaurant.
A great time was had by all.
Joe Slavin, Dickerson Owners Association
