J22 District 15 Championships Update

After further examination, it appears as though we had a scoring error in
the previously reported results for the J22 District Championship for the
Evergreene Cup.  Updated scores are below and most impacted was the tightly
fought after 3rd place.  Correctly finishing 3rd - breaking a 2 way
tiebreaker was 1311 Norwegian Wood - Jappa Lovald and team.  Also tied for
3rd was 1209 with Brent Peterson and team.  Both boats sailed very well and
deserve to be recognized for their 3rd and 4th place finishes.  My apologies
to all the boats for our initial scoring error.

J22 District 15 Championships

In a soggy season ending regatta last week, J22 Fleet # 1 crowned our
District 15 champion -  team 963 -- Who's Driving.  The team of Mike Bowers,
Dave Brasch, and John Dyer posted an impressive 4 race score to best the
fleet by 16 points.  Aquavit - with George Hansen and team sailed to a
strong 2nd - with Judy Woelner and Shadowfax breaking a 3 way tie to take
3rd.  

Consistency seemed to be the biggest factor to success, with 963 regularly
leading the fleet - even in the races they did not win.  Patience was also
crucial to success as well, as many of the races came down to the last leg -
or the last part of the last leg.  963 was the only dual race winner, but
other perennial light air performers were toward the top, with 1311- Woody
and 651-Shadowfax also posting victories in the challenging Minnetonka
conditions.  

Your humble fleet captain sailing J22 # 820 was quite surprised to find out
about out 2nd place finish.  "It didn't feel like we sailed to a 2nd place
finish" was my comment after seeing the scores.  With virtually everyone
having a 'deep' race, it was anyone's event (at least for 2nd anyway) and
another reason to never give up.  With the close racing = several protests
were lodged - all ending amicably and hopefully shedding light on how the
rules are applied in real racing conditions. 

Thank you to Jarod Silverman as PRO for putting on an excellent regatta
under challenging conditions.  His patience and persistence was greatly
appreciated.  I would also like to thank Terry Foster for acting as chairman
of our protest committee.  Along with Thorn Turner they put in a few long
hours settling disputes, and even though they were not sailing, it was nice
to have them participate in this capacity.  

On behalf of the entire fleet, Congratulations to team 963 on a well sailed
weekend and retaining their title as J22 District 15 champion.   Good job
guys !
