Wysocki Invitational and Lido 14 District II Championship

September 28 & 29, 2002

Morro Bay Yacht Club & Fleet 59

On September 28th -29th the Wysocki Invitational regatta was held at Santa Margarita Lake just to the North of San Luis Obispo.  Santa Margarita Lake is a beautiful lake located in the foothills surrounded by oak studded shores.  The regatta was sponsored by the Morro Bay Yacht Club and Lido Fleet 59.  The regatta was also chosen as the time and place to race for the District II Championships. 

The regatta saw several weather patterns move by, providing for interesting racing (to say the least).  Saturday proved to be a challenge with light shifty breeze accompanied with slight showers at times.  Sunday did prove better for racing with no drizzle.   The Race Committee performed an awesome job all weekend long (although next time Ron, another quarter in the wind machine would be appreciated).  Eleven Lidos raced for the Wysocki Memorial regatta with scores being separated in the end for the District II Champion. Five Gearys and four Daysailers showed up respectively, competing in close racing.  Saturday evening the racers gathered at the campground for a "burn your own meat" and bring a potluck salad gathering.  In the end Team Jenkins had won the District II Championship and the Lido class, Team Neiswanger won the Daysailer group and Team Knudson won the Geary class.

As Regatta Chairman there are a few people I need to thank;  First and foremost, Ron Giddings for being the PRO, Skip and Susan Dyke for Race Committee work,  Lex Budge for setting marks and providing fireside entertainment, John Nugent for Lido Fleet promotions.  And Finally all of the sailors who showed up for the weekend of sailing.

Hope to see you all again next Year, Tom Jenkins
