Flying Scot 2021 NAC at Cedar Point YC, Westport, CT - Awards

District: 

  

The NAC at Cedar Point Yacht Club in Westport, CtT, is in the books and from all accounts it was a great time.  Thanks so much to Cedar Point, Sprite Island Yacht Club and Candlewood Yacht club for a wonderful event.

The Race Management by Dick Thackaberry and crew was superb, and with very challenging conditions for the Race Committee and the competitirs, they managed to get 4 races completed. In the finals we had 15-20 MPH winds from the east on Tuesday and light air from the SSE Wednesday and outh on Thursday. Places changed several times with some teams great in heavy air and some teams better in light air. IF you did well in both, good for you! 

The onshore activities by John Cooke and Robin Hoffman and crews was just so much fun!  From easy checkin and measurement, to the band, the food and a well-organized awards ceremony, everything was just so well done. Oh the food - we had  pizza, gelato, beer, lobstah and all he fixings, with steak, chicken and vegan options for the non seafood eaters, the food counter that had loads of great food for breakfast and lunch, and then pasta on the last day. There was always plenty of beverages readily available. And the chalk talks by North Sails Zeke Horowitz and Brian Hayes, the talk by Mad Sails Daivd Ames, and the Crew talk by Any Lintona nd Brian Hayes were invaluable to some of the success the sailor s had. But really, most important of all was the cameraderie and all the fun we all had.
