Vietti, Fishbeck and Chesbro Score Sunfish Wins


Fishbeck in the Lead

The Sunfish fleet continues to share room at the top of the fleet. Of the seven sailors participating Wednesday evening, six took one of the top three spots in at least one race.

Dave Vietti started the evening with a win. John Fishbeck duplicated this in the second race and Gil Chesbro brought it home in the final stanza - abbreviated to three races due to light wind.

Complete results and standings can be found on the racing page of the LSC web site at www.lansingsailing.org.


Shapiro Returns with 2-3-3-4


Carlson, Moody and Messerschmidt lead lasers downwind

Joel Shapiro returned to Laser racing on Lake Lansing Wednesday after spending the winter in Hawaii - and showed he has not lost his touch. Joel had a second in the first race and followed this up with two thirds and a fourth in the nine boat field.

First place honors were split between Mike Moody and Doug Carlson - each winning twice. Mike added two second place finishes for fleet honors on the night.
