From our Rear Commodore Bill Foster, Race Committee Chair for the Spring Series race day 1:
The 2011 Spring series officially started at Spruce Run this past weekend, with 12 crews across four classes competing in the first races of the year. Light, shifty conditions were the order of the day, but there was enough breeze for the Flying Scots, Sunfish, Jet 14s and a Force 5 to get in three races.
Gary Nackman with crew Ian dominated the five boat Flying Scot fleet with three bullets, while Gordon Sell and Dave Petersen skippered their boats to second and third-place finishes overall for the day.
For the Sunfish fleet, Simon Bertocci won the day with a very strong 1-2-1 for four points, with Nicky Einthoven and Susan Mallows rounding out the top three.
Overall it was a great start to the season. Looking forward to more breeze, and more boats, over the coming weeks.
