Laser District 8 News

Revised November 10, 2007

From the "better late than never department" - a news flash from Fred Ables about the Radial US Nationals....He finished 6th and Christian Cremer sailed really well finishing 12th. (August 19 -it went to my old e-mail)

"Showdown in Shinnecock Bay" video now on YouTube. Check out District 8's videos at http://www.youtube.com/laserd8

East End Series #5 - Southampton Yacht Club

Here are the results from racing Saturday, August 25th at Southampton YC, the 5th of 5 regattas in the 2007 East End Laser Series.

Seven foolhardy sailors raced 5 races in 8 to 10 knots of breeze from the SW with thankfully little chop in complete white-out conditions. The general direction to the marks was known. The marks themselves were a constant surprise as they emerged from the fog.

East End Series #4 - Breakwater Yacht Club - For pictures of the event, click here

Saturday is the fifth of five regattas in the 2007 East End Laser Series! We have already been to Old Cove YC, Shelter Island YC, Devon YC and Breakwater YC. The last and final stop is this coming Saturday at the newly renovated Southampton YC. The 2007 East End Laser Series is one of the largest Laser events of the summer. 39 racers have participated so far!

 

Here are the results from Saturday at Breakwater YC. 16 hearty competitors went out to the racecourse in 15 to 20 knots of breeze from the north. The RC and club did a terrific job getting in 6 races.
