My sailing club runs an open regatta each year, the "Waiting for the Great Pumpkin Regatta". Usually I do the organizing for it, and Kathy does a lot of the work, like finding cool trophies at low cost, etc.
Keith Gray is often our Race committee. This year he used the CLRA's race committee boat, and did a lot of PR work, which I am not very good at. I think if I worked at it I could be, but not today.
Becasue of his work, we had five fleets of boats: J/22, Stars, Vanguard 15's, Day Sailers and a Portsmouth class, consisting of Lido 14's, a Flying Scot and a Sunfish. I didn't carry my GPS this time although I have a new GPSmap 76CS that I got for my birthday. I just couldn't figure out how to secure it to the boat, and I was too busy spend time on it.
It's so much fun to sail one-design. I keep forgetting that after sailing Portsmouth races for a few months. Needles to say we had a great time. The temperature was comfortable, The winds were 8-10 on the first day out of the East. The second day they were a little stronger but still easterly which is perfect for the lake since that is the long direction. The winds rose to 10-15 on Sunday and we were planing down wind under the 'chute. I love doing that. The boat feels entirely different, it feels lighter, more nimble, and even a little skittish. The folks in the other fleets had a good time, too, I think. I hope they will come back next year.
