Saturday, August 17, 2013. Sailed in light, variable wind, the 2013 Lake Lansing Laser Regatta was nevertheless a big success.And, thanks to Avon Sailboats for their sponsorship, many sailors went home with valuable door prizes - if not a trophy.
Overall winner Doug Carlson, of the Lansing Sailing Club, combined two firsts and two seconds to set the stage for his regatta victory by staying close to the second place sailor in the final race.
Runner-up was Rob Linden of Columbus, Ohio who also won two races on the afternoon. Steve Johanson was third overall.
First among the women competitors was also a LSC member: Susanna Tellschow.
Competitors were generous in their praise of the Race Committee and Regatta overall which finished with a terrific Steak and Chicken BBQ with Corn on the Cob, Baked Potatoes, Coleslaw, Baked Beans and ice-cream. Brenda Maynard got well deserved kudos for her work to make the BBQ such a success.
