VM #6

Another very challenging set of races Rick Gates showed up to race as well as Rick Laird. Greg LaPlante had to leave after trying out Cliff's boat for a race and sailing it very well. Rick Gates had issues and had to miss a race but did return. The conditions played a huge role in results. Finicky winds  had boats stalled at the outer mark and had us all fighting to get to the start line on time.

EC-12 #5

There were a few knock downs and a lot of wind- at times too much. Greg came up and won with everyone chasing him for most of the day. Cliff’s boat started having winch issues and had to retire with 3 races left to go. A call was made to do 10 races as the conditions were challenging and frustrating.

Old Man of the Mountain 10/5/2024

Nice fall weather greeted the 8 skippers today. Winds went from zero to gusts of about 15 knots with swirlies VERY evident throughout the day. Rick Laird was sailing a brand new Pool Shark and John Lamport was sailing a new to him boat also ( Wide Body?). Position swapping happened often, several times just feet from the finish line. End of the day Cliff came out on top. Trophies for the top three places were awarded.
