Cleveland Race Week Regatta

A total of 9 boats sailed for the CR914/Cleveland Race Week regatta and there was more than enough seaweed for everyone.  The fleet was healthy; we had 3 new boats sailing in their first scored regatta with us:  Rich Nesbett (both generations of them) and Andrew Schmidt (who placed 3rd). 

We completed 8 races (allowing 2 throw outs) before the thunderstorms rolled in. The breeze started out light and the seaweed was all but impenetrable.  It was decided to shorten the course after completing only 2 races in 45 minutes (combination of wind and weeds) to a triangle/windward-leeward.  The weather leg was no more than 20 yards.  It made for some interesting starts and mark roundings -- especially as the wind picked up considerably.  Many thanks to Joanne Nesbett for scoring the finishes.  The top three finishing places were:  1. Rosenbaum-7 pts., 2. Wollet-14 pts., 3. Schmidt-20 pts. Click here download a PDF table of the complete results.
