As sailors pulled into Stone Horse on Saturday morning the wind was quite uncooperative. By uncooperative I mean nonexistent. By the time the 56 sailors launched a weak Northerly had filled. In all races an I course was sailed, however in the first race the wind shifted to the East causing the last upwind to be more of a reach. By the fourth and final race a nice Easterly had filled probably around 10 knots. We had 49 boats in the full rig division and 8 boats in the Laser division. Our very own Colin Smith won all four races in the full rig division winning the regatta overall. Oriane Longerstay sailed very well winning two races and placing second in the other two gaining her first place in the radial division. 
A big thank you to Jeff Ward who organized the regatta, Peter McAvoy for running the race committee, Tricia Murray and Shelly Ward for dealing with registration and results and to everyone else who helped patrol, set marks, and record results.

We sent four sailors and coach Niki Osvalds to Vineyard Haven this weekend for a 2-day 420 regatta. Make sure you send them positive sailing thoughts as they tackle a large fleet and big breeze.
The sailing school photo happened today. If you would like to order a photo make sure to e-mail me at sarasallyevans@gmail.com so I can place the order.
If you are going to the Wianno Opti Regatta make sure to notify me or Damian Noyes so that we can prepare a trailer to be sent over on Tuesday.
Thanks!
Sally
