Grand Prix Results The regatta began with the annual off-water competition (bowling) on Friday evening. Flourescent shoes & balls, bowling bowl shaped beer bottles, and ear deafening music made the night an event to remember. Those who played paid the next morning. On Saturday, due to the light breezes only 2 races were completed. After finishing the morning race the S-2 9.1's had ample time to swelter in the 90° heat or go frolicing in the water. Cleaning weeds from props was also a popular activity. Race 2 ended with a complete mixup in the winners circle, leaving a 4 way tie for 1st day. After the races, the annual drawing for give-a-ways was held. We really missed not having Dick English here to pull the names from the hat. Would like to recognize the businesses that provided some really great stuff, especially Sailnet.com for the $100 & $50 gift certificates, T-shirts & mouse pads. Buy from these guys! We also got good gifts from Boats US, West Marine & Sailing Magazine. Sunday's racing was very competetive with the stiffer 10-15 knot breezes - better boat roundings and less current to deal with.
