Ocean One

See our PRO's report below.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Light , fluky winds were awaiting the sailors for the first Ocean Race / Dorman Cup Regatta on Saturday , May 21st . As race 1 progressed , the wind went lighter and left , allowing the Lightning fleet to just barely finish before the wind died , and then filled back in with a nice sea breeze for the next two races . Thanks to the skillful weather mark work of Sterling Powell , the RC was able to shorten the race for the Laser class after three legs ., The saying goes , that if you want something done , you ask a busy man . And that's what we did . We were very fortunate to have Sterling and Bob Thomson on the course working the marks for us . Bob Martin and Mike Norris kept us together on Signal all day .
The Dorman Cup is awarded to the winner of the lasgest fleet to compete , and this year it was the Lightning fleet , with nine boats .
Congratulations to the Barden / Van Arsdale boat , who finished first overall on 1-3-1 finishes . Jim Harris was second with 3 -5-2 finishes , followed by Bob Cowen with 4-2-5 finishes .

Seven Lasers came to the line . Martin Willard , with 3-1-3 finishes edged out Eddie Nowell on a tie breaker for first place , and Rob Freschette was third .
The next Ocean race is scheduled for Saturday , June 18 th , with the first warning flag at 1200 . Hope to see you there

FIRST OCEAN RACE - DORMAN CUP

The first club race is this Saturday. The First of the Ocean Series.

First Warning is at 12 noon again this year in order to catch a better seabreeze.

Winner of the biggest fleet gets the Dorman Cup in honor of Bruce Dorman.

See you on the water Saturday.
