2007 Harry Wood Memorial Regatta

Sunday April 1, 2007

Hosted by Balboa Yacht Club

22 teams raced in beautiful So. Cal. weather.  Winds were medium to light, with a strong outgoing tide thru most of the day.  All competitors were started together but were scored separately.

It took several general recalls in the first race before most of the fleet figured out that they were being pushed over the line by current.

Stu & Erin Robertson, current Lido 14 Class Champions, won the regatta with perfect score of five points.

The Grand Master award was won by the highest ranking skipper over 50 years of age, which was Stu Robertson.

The B fleet was won by Phoebe Staff, with her father John as able crew.  Phoebe was the youngest skipper - she's 11.

On a similar note, the youngest person racing was Will Mueller - all of 3-1/2 years - while Roy Woolsey takes the honors as the oldest - he's approaching his 90th birthday!  Will took a nap but it wasn't enough.  He completed two races and that was enough.

The longest journey goes to Allan Stults, the 2007 Lido 14 Class Association president, who drove from Eugene, Oregon.

Bronny Joy, of Balboa Yacht Club, took hundreds of digital photos and has published many of them on her website www.joysailing.com.

We will provide a link to them once she has edited and made them available.
