Once again wind forecasts were incorrect.  All of the “best” websites for forecasting winds on Lake Pontchartrain were wrong.  All had predicted light southerly’s the entire Memorial Day weekend of the Gulf District Trifecta.  And all weekend we wound up with 8-12 knot northerlies for the 5 race series.  But at least there was no rain!

The Flying Scot Midwinters were held at Southern Yacht Club, New Orleans, LA, from 3/16 - 3/21/2014, and was chaired by Larry Taggart.  On Sunday, the Warm-ups/Leukemia Cup Regatta was held with 10 boats participating.  After registration on Sunday continuing on Monday, there was a welcome party on Monday night.  The Midwinter Championships began on Tuesday with 29 boats, 23 in the Championship Division and 6 in the Challenger Division.

Results of the Midwinter Warm-up/Leukemia Cup Regatta and the Midwinter Championships are attached below.

2013 Ephraim Yacht Club Women’s Regatta results

2013 Ephraim Women’s Regatta/Series Standing – 4 races scored

The winds were howling in Harwichport on 8/3, with 25 MPH out of the SW, gusting even higher and flags were pointing practically straight up! The Race Committee headed out and a few boats went out past the breakwater. With several boats, even some with 3-up, nearly capsizing, deciding to come back in, we waited a bit before making a decision about going out. Within 15 minutes, the Race Committee came back in with a postpone flag. Less than 1/2 hour later races were cancelled for the day. The regatta will be sailed on Sunday 8/4.
