[J22-Fleet 1] J22 Match racing recap

[George Hansen]

> Match Racing Recap-
> 
> It was a beautiful Monday Night out on the bay, light air, but warm and
> sunny which was nice after freezing on a no-wind Sunday.  We had two
> flights of J22's running, former local gal Katy Pilley Lovell made a nice
> guest appearance on Nimmers new J22 as she is on her way to the
> prestigious Santa Maria Cup in Annapolis, MD.
> http://www.santamariacup.org/.  We wish her good luck.
> 
> Even with the light air we ran about 10 practice starts in shifty bay
> conditions, I kept the line tight which made for lot's of light air boat
> handling, of course our local rock star Lars Hansen with the crew of Nick
> Anderson and Johnny P had big huge roll tacks and gybes, always fun to
> watch.
> 
> Our own Fred Sommers and Ernie Brodie came out in our little whaler to
> practice their umpiring skills, it's great to see the program growing!
> Thanks Fred and Ernie!
> 
> As you may know, Match Racing is fully recognized by the Wayzata YC board
> and is still a initiative to grow at our club.  I invite all of you to get
> your teams organized and come out to play- now that we have a few coach
> boats and resources we can run multiple fleets at once.  So all you Sonar,
> Capri, J24 and other OD boats please feel free to come out and learn match
> racing. It is by far the best way to learn superior boat handling and of
> course get a big rules boost!!
> 
> Next week, we are running the match racing on Wednesday 31st evening start
> time 6:30 in the bay again. I will have the Bailiff and Whaler out, I can
> take spectators if you would like to watch-- but once again please feel
> free to put your team together and join us.
> 
> June 3-4 we are once again hosting the Richardson Cup Qualifier- we will
> have some of the top US Sailing judges and umpires on the water making
> calls-- the event will be held on J22's this year because the actual
> Richardson Cup will sailed on J22's at the beautiful buffalo YC on Lake
> Erie.  http://www.buffaloyachtclub.org/
> 
> We still have room for teams, but space is filling fast, please call or
> email me if you're interested.
> 
> Hope to see you on the water Wednesday night May 31 at 6:15
