Sonar Fleet 1

Noroton Yacht Club

Sunday July 18:

Well it doesn't get much better than last Sunday. Winds 8-12 out of the west...well some of the time.  We were able to get in three races thanks to PRO John Geissinger and his RC.

The first race was the Vice Commodore's race. John sent us on a D-2 with 13 boats starting. Scott Harrison took up where he left off the week before by taking the gun in this race. He was followed closely by the Cranes with Bob Monro coming in third.

The rest of the day also belonged to Scott, finishing the next two races with a 2 and 1 giving him 4 points overall. Second place belonged to Ed Sweeney with finishes of 5, 1 and 3. Third was Bob Monro with a 3, 3 and 6.

Scott has been sailing really well the last two weeks taking 4 guns in 6 races! His crew for this week were (pictured top to bottom) Adam Westerman, Scott and Warren Costikyan.

Sonar barbecue:

It has finally been scheduled. We will have our first "barbecue" on Sunday August 1, after racing. It is a barbecue in name only as the menu planned is lasagna, salad, Italian bread, ice tea and of course, beer. Any other beverages are BYO.

This will be free, that's right, you heard me, free for fleet members and their families. Non-fleet members will be $12 for adults and $6 for children under 10.

All are welcome.
