2011 CYC MidWinter Regatta

March 19 Bonus Regatta, Results

A breezy day with no small amount of rain sped our fearless baker's dozen around the nine-mile course.  At the end of the day, Basic Instinct took the  non-spinn gun, and Inspired Environments took the spinnaker gun.  Not sure whether those big sails mattered in this race, as the shift to the wind, as well as the unpredictable gusts, made a kite seem like a silly move on most legs of the course.

In fact, kiteless Basic Instinct was first across overall.  Special note to Willin' who started twenty minutes late (they had to call on the phone to point out that they were there) but made up almost all of that time.  Given that the entire fleet finished in a span of twelve minutes, they did darned good.

Results are here.  Trophies to the top four spinnaker boats and top three non-spinnaker boats, mugs to all finishers, extra mugs to kids. Corinthian birthday cake to all.

Thanks ALL for coming out.

New for 2011: an extra (free) bonus pursuit race in March, KKMI has sponsored video replays of roundings at the bar.  (See the Melges video here).
And the race is a certified "clean regatta."

Oh, and did we mention the parties?  And the daily prizes?  And the Racers' Buffet?

• Four Days of Racing
• Hundreds of boats
• Two parties (Saturdays)
• Racers' Grille and Buffet
• Daily Trophies
• Overall Trophies
• Competitive Courses
• Guaranteed Wind (depending on weather)
• The first running of the CYC Mid-Winter Regatta was held in 1951!

What about that bonus race, you ask?  A third weekend, not counting for the trophy series, run just for the fun of it, has been added at no extra charge to you.  Saturday, March 19 will see a pursuit race.  Whether this is a time to warm up for the season, show who is REALLY the king of point-to-point racing, or just take Aunt Minnie out for a tour, we think that this will be a great day on the water.
