Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville, VA, held its 77th Annual One-Design Regatta with 100+ boats from several one-design classes, plus a handicap division.  Debbie Cycotte shared this from the Flying Scot Class:

We had twenty-three Flying Scots racing with some very close competition.  Four races were sailed on Saturday in winds of 8 - 15 knots.  We managed to get one race completed on Sunday that started with 11 knots but was dying as the day progressed.  

The weekend was very HOT.  The heat index on Sunday neared 120!  The top five finishers were (1) John Kreidler and Joe Brake of Western Carolina Sailing Club, (2) Rob Whittemore and crew of Fishing Bay Yacht Club, (3) Sean O'Donnell and Jhis crew Joel  of NC Community Sailing, (4) Ben Buhl and Jay Buhl of Fishing Bay Yacht Club and (5) John Wake and Sharon Wake of Fishing Bay Yacht Club

2016WH2

Saturday night was a wonderful chicken dinner prepared by the Commodore and crew.  Lots of stories were traded and lots of fun!  We followed that up with a raffle  that masqueraded as a baby shower for the Flying Scot Royalty, Carrie and Tyler Andrews!

What a difference a day makes!  We went from 5-6 MPH to 15-17 MPH winds between yesterday and today.  The good news is that we raced right outside the club so we did not have far to go either to or from the race course.  We had 3 W-L 5 races and every team was working very hard to keep the boats moving and keep them upright!  What an amazing day on the water!

Championship Winners were Jeff Linton and Amy Smith Linton, Challenger Winners were Chris and Jessica Powers.  Full results are here.
