[…] Sunny weather warmed 37 D12 laser sailors this weekend at Lake Norman Yacht Club. 4 races were completed in light air racing for the 1st of the District’s Championship Series. Returning to his home waters, Glenn Walker took first place overall. Glenn also shared some of his inside information at a friday night clinic for the early arrivals - will try to make this a regular occurence for the Friday night before our major regattas. Many thanks to Mark and Peggy Aspland for putting on another great event. Many thanks to Ken Gorni and the rest of the LNYC RC for providing fair sailing in difficult wind conditions. Check the 2007 series results for the final results of the regatta. […]
[…] Tropical Storm Barry beat up and drenched D12 this weekend in Savannah. 15 of the 29 registered sailors made it around the course for one race on Saturday braving sustained winds of 22-25 knots of wind with gusts > 35 knots. Over 6 inches of rain blasted over the course as well. Unbelievable downwind runs with plenty of deathrolls. Fortunately the RC took pity on the sailors and called it a day after the one epic race. Racing was canceled on Sunday as 30 knot gusts continued to buffet the area. Congratulations to Peter Gamble for his 1st place finish. Thanks to PRO Bob Bowden and the RC for getting a race completed in extreme conditions. Thanks to Charlie Usher and the Howells for treating us to great Savannah Hospitality - again. Check all the results here. Have updated the series results as well. […]
