Chesbro on Roll

Dave Vietti on His Sunfish

On another beautiful evening for sailing, Gil Chesbro chalked up four bullets in Sunfish racing yesterday, adding to his early lead for the season title. During the first race, it appeared that the wind might die as it went away, then came back very lightly in a 180 degree shift. However, within a few minutes it filled back in and the racers sailed in 8-10 mph winds the rest of the evening.

Dave Vietti sailed very consistently and ended up with two second place finishes and two third place finishes. Dennis Dudley claimed a second, third and two fourths. Neil Harrison had the remaining second and third place finishs along with a fourth before capsizing his boat in the final race. It was strange to see his centerboard sticking straight up - but with the lake level high, it appears that "turning turtle" is easy to do.

Doug Carlson Gets New Laser Going

Blaine Had His Boat Moving Fast

Doug Carlson showed up with his new Laser and promptly reeled off three first place finishes and a second to lead the Laser racers yesterday. Mike Moody was giving Doug all he wanted in the way of competition however - claiming the other first and three second place finishes. George Siegle was pushing both of them throughout the evening and ended up with four third place finishes.

Among the remaining boats, Blaine Severin showed the way. He improved every race and in the final came from two boat lengths behind on a short last leg to catch the boat in front of him and register his second fourth place finish of the night.
