SpinSheet Racing Roundup July 20-22
If racing sailors were looking for a gold star this weekend for racing in outrageously hot and steamy conditions, well, they deserve it. Here’s your hot, hot racing roundup for the weekend of July 20-22 (yep, that includes today) on the Chesapeake.... and gold stars to all racing sailors who sweated it out the past few days.
Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge
The wind gods came and went and came and went at the 2019 Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge held Saturday through today, yet Mother Nature managed to allow the race committee to get off five total races despite a windless Sunday, thanks to today’s decent breeze. Thanks to the Southern Maryland Sailing Association for hosting the annual event. Unfortunately, we were unable to get on-water photos this year, so if you were down in Solomons and took some, please do share them via [email protected].

Here are two tidbits from Lin McCarthy’s Southern Bay Racing News You Can Use:
CCV MOONLIGHT TRIANGLE.
A late-in-the-day start for any race this past sweltering weekend proved to be a good idea. The Moonlight Triangle Race always starts in the late afternoon (5pm) with the plan for a moonlight distance race. The plan worked fine and racers got in a pleasant race in moderate breeze throughout the evening. Everyone had crossed the finish line by 11 pm.
Twenty-four (24) boats completed the courses – 20.9nm for PHRF A and 14.2 nm for PHRF B/C and Non-Spin.
RESULTS:
PHRF A (8 boats) 1.Riff Raff, Don DeLoatch; 2.Remedy, Will Roberts; 3. Feather, Phil Briggs.
PHRF B/C (10 Boats) 1.Callinectes, Ben Cuker; 2.Rumble, Ben Weeks; 3.Blue Jacket, Andy Armstrong.
PHRF Non-Spin (6 boats) 1.Halaha, Jeff Rogers; 2.Black Widow, Ken Copeland; 3.Tilt, Cliff Porter. Principal Race Officer – John Ritter.
The next CCVR race will be the Founders Race, August 24th.
