Southern Bay Racing Results
Thanks to Lin McCarthy, our Southern Bay racing lifeline, to this report from her weekely Southern Bay Racing News You Can Use:
GANAR! and ALI-RU both won their racing fleet in the 2017 TRI-SERVICES REGATTA on Saturday. Of the 40 boats racing, 15 sailed in either the spinnaker or non-spinnaker racing division. Leading each of the 3 cruising fleets were CAT’S PAWS, BARBARA JEAN, and IRIS. Breezes were in the high teens with gusts above 20 knots on the course laid out in Hampton Roads Harbor.
With a grin on his face, one of the competitors mentioned the importance of defensive driving under the conditions. Principal Race Officer Tim Dull (NNSA) said that “. . . 40 boats represented the Air Force, Army, and Navy in this race which has been run every year since 1975.” Tim added that “. . . small craft warning level winds lead to some sporting chases around Hampton Bar.”
In the “team” scoring for the Tri-Service Cup, Army (Old Point Comfort Yacht Club) won the cup back from the Navy represented by Norfolk Navy Sailing Association. Langley Yacht Club (Air Force) was third.
Tri-Service Cup RESULTS:
Racing Spinnaker (7 boats): 1.David Bouchard, Ganar!; 2, Sidney Beard/Guy Sorensen, Blue Ghost; 3.Andrew Norris, Papahu.
