Racers and Friends:
Thank you all for making the 44th annual Milt Ingram Trophy Race one of the best in recent memory. The weather was it’s ornery self; not like the predictions of early in the week and not like Friday’s predictions either. In the end, there was enough wind to get everyone finished before sundown.
It was great to see so many exuberant folks back at the club. You may have severely depleated the soup and chili, but there is still alcohol at the bar.
Congratulations to the “official” winners: CIRRUS in the A class, TONKA in the B class, VELERO in Non-spin, AKUA KAI in ORCA, and the Vazquez brothers who were 1st and 2nd in Beach Cats. The overall Winner was VELERO.
Hope to see you all on August 10th for the final race of the 2024 Island Series, the Tri-point Ocean Race. Trophies for each of the 3 races plus the Series will be awarded on Sunday, August 11th.
Study up on your navigation skills because there will be another Navigation Challenge. In fact, you can practice on yesterday’s challenge by clicking on www.pbyc.org/navigate.
Here are the results of Saturday’s race.
