The race committee had its hands full with the lights winds on Saturday morning, causing a postponement to late morning.  They had to fight with the ever shifting winds throughout the day.  The first race started with an upwind leg that suddenly changed to a downwind leg just before the start.  It was interesting seeing the boats flying spinnakers on the first “upwind” leg.  Subsequent races were better for racing and we were able to get 3 races in for the Championship Division and 2 races for the Challenger Division.  We then came in for a great dinner barbecued on site by a local caterer.

Sunday began with a beautiful sunny morning, but unfortunately there was not much wind to be had.  We waited for some time hoping for it to pick up as it had the day before, but it was not to be this time.  Although we were not able to get on the water Sunday, the regatta was a great time for all of us.  We caught up with people we had not seen since the NAC and we reminisced about the times we had shared there.  And as we packed up the boats and left Saratoga, we were already thinking about the next time.   

Congratulations to Chris Danilek and Ryan Werden, Champion Division winners; and to Ted Gutman and Ira Cohen, Challenger Division winners. Thanks again to Peter and Ann Seidman for organizing a wonderful weekend.
