Sonar Fleet 1
Noroton YC Fleet Racing:
July 4th Series:
Somehow we managed to get five races in between Sunday and Monday, July 4th and 5th. Very light, shifty conditions made racing...fun. Still, we had 12 boats racing on Sunday and 15 boats on Monday.
Our first race on Sunday was the Commodore's Race. The winner for that race was Team 500 including Commodore Jayson, Commodore Lyden and Rear Commodore Tankoos. Funny how that worked. Led wire to wire. Second was Lee Morrison, third was Commodore Jim Linville.
Jim Linville was able to take the gun in race 2, finishing in first place with a combined 4 for day 1.
Day two of the series saw slightly more pressure but nothing to write in newsletters about. Jim Linville continued to dominate with finishes of 1, 2, 1, giving him a two day total, including one throw-out, of a 5. Jim was joined by Paul Steinborn (pictured at left) and Peter Galloway.
Second place for the series was Ed Sweeney, with 10 points. Third place was decided in a tie breaker between Bob Monro and Lee Morrison each with 14 points. Bob won the tie breaker with two second place finishes.
Many thanks to the race committees, PRO Art Collins on July 4 and PRO Warren Costikyan on July 5.
Sunday July 11:
The summer on LIS continued with light but better than expected conditions. PRO Bill Jayson and his race committee did a great job getting three races in.
With 13 boats racing, Scott Harrison won the day with finishes of 1, 5, 1. Scott was joined by (pictured l to r below) Leo Schlinkert, Kelsey Harrison, Adam Westerman and Scott.
The top three for the day were:
Harrison 1, 5, 1 = 7
Galloway 2, 7, 3 = 12
Morrison 9, 2, 2 = 13
Sweeney 3, 4, 6 = 13
