English Bay Fleet Spring Series Report

[Ray Rogers]

A relatively light and shifty weekend for the English Bay Fleet season opener on Saturday and Sunday. With the exception of races 3 and 4 on day one we experienced light winds from the East, with several delays waiting for wind and one abandonded race. The weather was mild with a sunny day on Saturday and clouds on Sunday. We still managed to get 6 races in and over all an enjoyable day on the water.

Phil Lockwood (7988) won his first series event with a steady performance on both days. Craig Wilshire (7737) was second and Don Campbell (7607) third.

Dennis Burgess (7451) claimed the final race sailing single handed - way to go Dennis!

Some newer boats and star sailors have found their way into the fleet for 2009. We've increased the size of our fleet and upped the level of competition. Early indications are for a very exciting season of Star racing.
