Mid Season Championship Results

The Mid Season Championship regatta went off without a hitch on Sunday. Although there were low registration numbers, people came out in force the day of to make it a full, fun and exciting regatta.

The competition was high in each of the three divisions, with several boats duking it out for first place. The Ensign division was anyones race as several boats flirted with the lowest point total. Dick Prodehl took top honors in this class with a third, first, and second place in three races. The 470 division was very close. Patti McMann fought to hold on with her first place finish in the first race. In the end John Michaels won out with a fourth, and two first place finishes, taking race three by the smallest of margins. The PHRF division was tough going in the heavy breeze and choppy seas. With four solings and two J24s rounding out the fleet, it was tiring just watching the crews battle around the course. Paul McGaun and Dan Brielmeyer fought for first place through the regatta. It was close in the end as Paul took a daring port tack start around the pin and crossed the whole fleet. The final totals speak for themselves, however, as Dan finished with 4 points and Paul 5.

MCSC would like to thank again, Glyn Livermore for taking the time and spending the money to help the Sailing Center's race committee. He and a small group of others made it possible for there to be horns, anchors, pumps, compasses, flags, flag poles, and flag holders for this regatta and many more to come.

Please mark the dates of the remaining three sailing center regattas on your calender. The 25th annual Quarter Barrel Regatta will be held on Sunday August 10, 2008. Please make sure to register before the day of the regatta.

Thanks everyone for making the Mid Season Championship such a successful event!
