Finn North American Championship at LCYC

LCYC hosted the Finn NAs over July 18-20, and despite near-heroic efforts by PRO Ernie Reuter and his talented RC, only two races were completed. On Friday, the fleet the fleet completed one race in the broad lake before severe afternoon thunderstorms prompted an early end to the day. On Saturday, the fleet spent the better part of five hours floating and swimming in the vicinity of Juniper Island, waiting for wind that never materialized. Ernie then wisely moved up the starting time for Sunday’s racing to a 9am start in hopes of gaining extra time for more races.

The Finns Are Coming

LCYC to Host Major Finn Regattas

This coming July, LCYC has the unique privilege of hosting the Finn Eastern Championship (July 15-16) and the Finn North American Championship (July 18-20). We are expecting 20-25 boats from as far away as California, Oregon, Mississippi and even one competitor from Australia. The 2008 Canadian Olympic Finn representative is also planning to be here. He will be competing in this event just prior to leaving for China.

Col. John Williams (1908 - 2006)

I learned from his son that John Williams died yesterday (Tuesday, Dec 26), at age 98. John became a member of the club in 1963, and was commodore in 1968-69. In the early years he owned and raced a classic Sparkman & Stevens Six Meter wooden sloop that he named "Sue" because that was about all that would fit on its small stern. Later he owned and raced a yellow Paceship 23 Bluejacket, also named "Sue".

Horton/Nichol - Star World Championships - Day 3

San Francisco gave everyone a "head fake" on Day 3 of the Star World Championship. With a forecast for little to no wind we were once again postponed ashore for an hour. After a slow tow down to the racecourse and lunch on a glassy bay, the forecast seemed right on target. But a break in the cloud cover beyond the Golden Gate fooled the weatherman, and the breeze came on quickly, building from zero to twelve knots in just a few minutes. We were quick to make adjustments to our setup transitioning from light to medium air and got down to business.
