Last Saturday, the 20th of June, the first official C.Y.C Keelboat race took place after last week trail run. We are happy to annouce that we counted 9 boats in the race ans after a precision start we all made it whith Rich and his doughter on their Montgomer 17 as the number one boat passing the finish line. with Henk and Wenona on her stern seccond.
Saturday, June 27, the weather looked not that promising with in the forecast some rain and thunderstorms with winds up to 25 knots. The course was set by Tom our CYC 2009 Commodore and judge, with Martin who assisted to bring us to our boats. We all set course and where happy to see Nate and his children at the start line.
After the start signal at approx 11:20am Nate took of as a rocket with Henk on his port and Rick at his starboard site and we all tried to keep pass with his fast boat. And he finished first, Henk and Wenona second, Chris and Rich fought for the third and fourth place while Brian and Alberto fought their boat more than the wind became 5th
It was a great race where seamanship and friendship sailed hand in hand.
See you for the next race July 11 at 11am
