Weekend of Sailing

Disappointing turnout for fall series. Beautiful day on the water. Steady NE wind at 15 knots.
Match race for 2 lightnings , 2 sunfish, and 3 lasers. Though a small group , they made up
for it in enthusiasm. Thanks to the sailors who came out to play.

Sunday's UNCW collegiate regatta was awesome. Sustained winds of over 20 knots with gusts to 30. 9 schools competed which equals 36 kids. Lots of swimming, but the sailors learned to
handle the conditions as time wore on. Thanks to Rick Campbell and the local college kids for
running some great races. Congrats to C of C for winning the event.
Should have some pictures coming shortly.

Up the road at Lake Norman CYC's team of Paul Whitesides, Chip Till and Chris Calhoun took
on some of the nations best sailors at the US Sailing Men's Championship. Each day was a better day for the CYC team staying in the top third of the fleet the last day of sailing with a second place finish in their column. Thanks to Lake Norman for hosting this high level event.
Hopefully will post a regatta report from the team.
