EC-12 R3 and R4 were held today with 3 skippers ( 4th boat scratched due to ripped sail). Herb again takes 1st for both 12 race regattas! Mark Fleckenstein came in second in both regattas with Rick Gates and Chris O’Brien rounding out the field sharing a boat after missing multiple races due to aContinue reading “Herb wins twice again!”

The title says it all.

Due to the continuing weed problem at Sandy Pond, the VM race this Saturday has been moved to Minuteman’s Rosemary Lake . Same time, 1:00PM. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The 2nd Annual V36 Open has been rescheduled on October 29,2022.

Algae clumps invaded the racecourse as the first race was started and got much worse from there.

With heavy winds, 15mph with gusts to 25, our members braved very difficult conditions and took the top 3 positions. Alain Jousse took 1st, Rick Gates took 2nd and Cliff Martin took 3rd. Congratulations skippers!

We had Rick, Alain, and Chris show up. As race time approached, the wind shifted and blew a large number of weeds onto the course causing impossible racing conditions. Because of this, racing was canceled and will be a made up at a later date. The good news is that most of the weed isContinue reading “2nd DF95 Regatta Postponed”
