Despite Blunders, Robertson Wins Mission Bay Fall Invitational—or….coming out smelling like a rose.
Light attendance, possibly due to reports of inclement weather, marked the MBYC Fall Invitational.
Clan Robertson (super crew Erin Fredricks and a friend) arrived in time for the skippers meeting but Stu, driving in the trailer lanes arrived on the heels of a short downpour in time to see to see most of the fleet heading out to the starting line. Starting 2 minutes behind the “B” fleet was a DNS and Stu collected 11 points for race 1. Oh well, there’s going to be a throw out.
Race 2, Stu and former crew Mark Ryan distanced themselves from the fleet on the windward-leeward course. Clan Robertson, closely pursued by team Ryan, rounded the leeward mark and headed windward while Nancy Davidson (about 100 yards back) passed the mark and correctly headed for the downwind finish line about 50 yards further down the course. Ryan figured it out and turned downwind to pick up a 6th place finish, but Robertson didn’t catch on till Nancy got the finish horn and collected a DFL 8th for race 2.
The weather front had passed, for the most part, and things on the bay were returning to the normal wind conditions almost assuring a full 6 race regatta but nonetheless at the end of the day Walter Johnson was the regatta leader, and Robertson fifth.
In the “B” fleet Chris and son Christophe Killian were cleaning up in their brand new (#6297) Lido with a string of four 1’s. But the talk at the do-it-yourself barbeque dinner was could Stu overcome the 4 point deficit to Johnson counting the worst race throwout, even with a couple of bullets on Sunday? Alas, Walter had some family commitments and was going back home for Sunday. Davidson, looking good till the last race with a 5th handed the regatta and the Lesnick Perpetual Award to Stu and Erin. Team Killian continued their domination of the “B” fleet and took a 1st with 6 bullets. Which first do you throw out as the worst race?
