Sunday, June 2:
Here's a report from co-fleet captain Scott Harrison...
We had a wonderful south breeze with some shifts and changes in velocity. The wind was +/- 10kts so PRO John Geissinger was able to run 3 D1's. The starts were tricky with a heavy pin favor which was corrected after several general recalls.
13 boats made the line and the fleet was tight around the course.
At the end of racing, Lee Morrison and Jim Crane were tied for first with 7 points each. Lee won the tie breaker by virtue of his bullet in the first race. Joining Lee was Susan Morrison, Don Vasta and Matt Silvaggio.
Scott Harrison was third with 9 points followed by new member Greg Danilek in fourth with 15 points.
As always, full results can be found here: http://www.fleet1.org/
CREW TRAINING:

Our crew training seminar took place on Saturday. We ended out with 30 participants and 10 skippers who came down to take students out on the water. The on-the-water portion turned out to be perfect with plenty of sun and breeze around 10 kts.
Thanks to Scott Harrison for running the classroom portion of the seminar, Andy Fisher and Kelsey Harrison for their help with setting up and running the races and all the skippers who came down to sail and train the students.
2013 LONG ISLAND SOUND CHAMPIONSHIPS
Our annual regatta has been moved to June 15-16 this year due to the World Championships in September.
We have brought back the same team that ran last year's very successful regatta, including Briggs Tobin as PRO; Peter Wilson as course director and jury member; Dave Sinclair as safety chair and jury member; Palmer Sparkman as official scorer; Jan Raymond for registration and t-shirt design; and of course, Kitty Brown for refreshments, Saturday dinner, snacks, etc.
Participation by Fleet 1 members is critical to convince outside teams to travel here. The regatta is less than 2 weeks away. PLEASE SIGN UP NOW!
The NOR and online registration is available at: http://www.sonar.org/. The NOR is also available from the Noroton website: http://norotonyc.org/
BARBECUES:
Our first fleet barbecue is this coming Sunday June 9. Please plan on staying at the club after racing to enjoy a burger (and whatever else our barbecue volunteer John Schultz has in store for us).
