Despite forecasts of inclement weather, the Regatta attracted 21
teams, 11 from outside the host Lake George Fleet 61. The Club and
Lake provide an outstanding venue; teams who come once almost always
return for the spectacular setting, excellent hospitality, and competitive
racing. This year was no exception, as the Doyles from Youngstown,
NY continued their past years dominance of the top places
(how do we beat these guys?). Four races were held on Saturday as scheduled, with the Committee
and sailors guessing from which direction the wind would next appear.
The morning races were started in rather light air. The forecast
was for 15 - 20 from the WNW, but the first race wind was very light,
initially from 277 degrees. Tom Linville and Rik Alexanderson from
the host fleet led around the first marks, but the wind died for
them and the followers passed "upwind" on the left. Kevin Doyle
in "Mo Money" showed his talent at always sailing for the wind regardless
of his present position, and won the race over Todd Kittredge, District
1 Governor, in "Hooter." For the second morning race, the wind, still light, had backed
all the way to 180 degrees, still in contrast to the forecast. Kevin
again found the right spots for his second bullet. After the usual hearty lunch in the clubhouse, the first afternoon
race began in light to moderate air, now from 318 degrees. Chris
Doyle, sailing "Elmo" also from Youngstown, won this race over Rik
Alexanderson in "Brass Ring," and brother Kevin Doyle. The fourth
race, the longest of the day, was started in the predicted oscillating
wind from 275 degrees. Tom Linville, in "Fuzzy Logic," worked his
way to the lead on the first beat and never relinquished it, despite
being challenged all the way by Kevin Doyle. At the end of the day's racing, Kevin Doyle had a solid lead with
1-1-3-2 and 7 points, Tom Linville was a distant second with 10-4-6-1
and 21 points, and there was a three-way tie one point further back
for third between Chris Doyle (14-2-1-5), Ed Gardner in "Blur" (Lake
George, 6-8-5-3), and Jeff Pawlowski in "Just Add Water" (Rochester,
3-3-10-6). The stage was set for Sunday's racing. Only one race was scheduled for Sunday, and the day dawned with
a strong 12-knot breeze from the south, with gusts to 14 - 18. The
committee initially set a start line fairly close to the west shore,
but had to postpone and move the line further out in the lake to
avoid a 20-degree veer off the west shore. Paul Cannon from Youngstown
in "Loose Cannon" started near the pin and went left. This put his
team in good position and they went on to win, with Chris and Kevin
Doyle in hot pursuit. Kevin's conservative sailing easily sewed up first overall for
the regatta. Chris' fine performance earned him second overall,
and Jeff Pawlowski, fourth in this race, beat out Ed Gardner, sixth
in this race, for third overall. The traditional "Grab Bag" prize,
place drawn from a hat, was awarded for 19th place to Pat Whelen
in "Frosty." Gardner's "Blur" took fourth overall to finish
as best local boat.
