Sonar Fleet 1
Noroton YC
Fleet Racing:
We had 11 boats out racing on Sunday, June 27th. Those out racing experienced a beautiful steady 10 knot breeze...IN THEIR DREAMS! Actually we had a 4-5 knot breeze oscillating between 085 and 140! PRO Peter Wilson and his race committee had their "course change" hands full but managed to get off two nice races. Our winner for the day was the combo of Bill Crane and Olivia Crane who each took a turn at helm and both came out on top with two guns. The only difference between the two was that Bill Crane was WAY OCS in the first race.
Joining the Cranes was Suzanne Burke, all pictured above.
Here are the top three finishes:
Crane/Crane 1, 1 = 2
Doerr 2, 3 = 5
Doerr 2, 3 = 5
Maguire 4, 5 = 9
Now for a special treat. We were able to enlist the talents of world renown videographer Christopher Milne to record the essence of Sonar Fleet 1 racing. What follows is the result of his many years developing his craft. You'll laugh, you'll cry but most of all, you'll be amazed. Hard to believe he's only 13.
