Sunday August 21:
This report from PRO Scott Harrison (with some input from Bahar Gidwani) comes to you from from beautiful Hinesburg, VT....
PRO, Scott Harrison, along with Ed Hogan and Elie and Mike Devlin set up 1 D2 and two D1's.
On pin boat we had Peter Scholtz and Griffin (9) and Doug Wilson:
Mark boat was Pete Wheelock and Caroline Murray:
The wind was ranging from 175-200 at 7-10 knots
High tide was at 2:14, so not too bad
The first race, the D2, was too long, so we shortened it at the top of the second windward leg. On the second upwind leg, there was a big shift right. The three boats that went right made out and crossed the boats that went left.
The Committee boat was struggling to stay anchored so the finish line slowly widened and made the finish heavily boat favored.
The PRO got smarter and ran two more D1's.
The breeze was shifting some and moving right with velocity up and down. The first leg of the third race ended with another right shift in place. Those who could jibe immediately after rounding and head left (781 and 726) made out while those who had to sail a bit right first, ended sailing extra distance.
In the end, team Horden (781) took the day with 5 points, team 619 was second with 8 points and team Jager (690) was third with 10 points.
The results after three races:
First place with just 5 points was Team Horden (781) with Bahar Gidwani, Yalcin Tarhan, Siofra Potash and Eva Burpee
Second Place with 8 points was Team 619 with Lee Morrison, Susan Morrison, Don Vasta and Mark Sullivan.
Third place with 10 points was Team Jager (690) with John Bainton, Gregg Delany and Hale Holden.

TEAM RACING:
This past weekend, Noroton Yacht Club defended its title by winning the Hinman Masters Team race, hosted by the New York Yacht Club.
The race, which included nine clubs from around the country, is one to the most prestigious master level events in the US.
The Noroton team:
Scott MacLeod (skipper, team captain) with Michael Rudnick, Peggy Hersam and Basil Lyden.
Karl Ziegler (skipper) with Chris Daley, Janet Grapengeter and Bill Crane.
Tom Kinney (skipper) with Britt Hall, Howard Seymour and Kevin Sheehan.
A nice write up of the event can be found in Scuttlebutt.
This coming weekend is the Grand Masters, also in Harbor Court. This is an event Noroton has never lost (no pressure, just remember, second place is really the first loser!)
