Tom Brady Masters Race
This in from Southern Bay Racing News You Can Use: Fourteen (14) boats in all sailed in this annual Hampton Yacht Club event. And, those in the Masters Fleet faced down creaky knees and balky backs brought on by Mother Nature’s soggy, rainy, damp offering.
No one was deterred by the cloudy day and a great time was had by all. There were two fleets: MASTERS FLEET (all on board 60 yrs old, boat 10 yrs old) and YOUNGSTERS FLEET (all others)
Masters Fleet (9 boats):
1.Rusty and Naomi Burshell, Flag Raiser (Sonar);
2.Phil Briggs, Feather (J36);
3.Andy Armstrong, Bluejacket (Laser 28).
Youngsters Fleet (5 boats):
1.Leroi Lissenden, Voodoo 2 (Tripp 38);
2.Greg and Carie Cutter, Diablo (Andrews 28);
3.W. Midgett, Luna Blue.
Principal Race Officer: John Blais. Official Scorer: Bev Blais
The Grand Master Trophy goes to the Masters Fleet boat with the crew with the oldest (and wisest) average age. Feather carried the oldest crew: Phil Briggs, Bill Peach, Bob Mosby, Bill Schultz, Marvin Sylvest, Bill Wheary, and Rich Wilcox sport an average age of 78! Awards will be presented at the HYC Annual Awards Night on Dec 5th, 2017.
