YYC Level Regatta 2003 PHRF
(Our first big regatta, racing "the cottage") Racing level (all boats equal - no PHRF) we were put into a mixed bag fleet of Tarten Tens, a custom C&C 3/4 ton, a new Benateau first 27.7, a J30, and a Gilbert 25. Winds we strong 16 (gusting up to 25 knots), and we flew the #1 briefly before deciding to use the #3, and then add a reef into the main. We flew Spinnaker every time off the wind, and only broke a (too lightweight) spinnaker sheet schackle. I will never go cheep on buying parts again. We had a fantastic time, and the results are tighter than you might think. (With 5 boats finishing within 4 seconds for example). "Paladen" did not disapoint - and taught us where all the "holes" in our equipment, and boat prep lay. We ended up 5th, behing 3 Tarten tens, and the C&C (1 point from 4th). Once the official results are up I will post them here. we beat 2 other Tarten Tens, the Beneteau, the J30, and a Gilbert 25 (MORC boat). Not great, but not bad - if the winds were a little calmer, and the crew wasn't as green (myself included) we would have slid up a spot of two.

Lake Minnetonka MN- Greg Grassle recently discovered the Class web site and reports that he became a 9.1 owner last year after crewing for several years.

The Wayzata YC hosted the 1999 MORC Internationals on his home waters in September, just outside Minneapolis. With some friendly encouragement from his peers, Greg and his crew decided to throw their hat in the “ring” and entered the race with very worn dacron sails and borrowed spinnaker gear (that warranted a handicap penalty). Combining this with finding themselves in Div “A”, Greg reports that “they got their #@!? handed to them”, placing seventh out of seven in class. All was not lost, however, as his crew had arranged for a hot tub for the event, which greatly eased the “agony of defeat”.

An interesting sidebar: the Sailing World magazine Jan 2000 issue quotes the Wayzata YC Capri 25 fleet as “Making a better world through one-design racing and stern mounted BBQ grills”.
