2007 SCYA Midwinter Regatta

Lido 14s Hosted by Alamitos Bay YC

February 17 & 18, 2007

Race 1 and 2 were in breezy Santa Ana (off-shore) winds, Race 2 was in medium (10 knots?) dying on-shore breeze.  Races 3 thru 6 were in full breeze conditions (15+ knots).

Team Little (Bob Little and his wife Lisa?) lead the regatta at the end of Saturday with a total of 6 points.  John Papadopoulos, sailing with Bob Sherwood, and the team of Kurt & Anne Wiese had 7 points each.  On Sunday, the Littles had an excellent start in the fourth race and were able to tack on the first shift which gave them a strong position that they held onto thru the finish - winning the first race of Sunday.  Both John and Kurt got caught up in the fleet and finished 6 and 7 respectively in the same race.  John & Bob rallied and won the next race.  In the last race, Bob Little got an early lead but John & Bob passed them upwind and held on to win the final race - giving them a one point win (after one throw out.)

Special thanks to PRO Jim Drury and has team for keeping racing in the main body of the bay by using windward/leeward courses with movable marks - a treat that Lido 14's don't normally get because the main racing area is usually shared with at least one other class of boat.

For those that like action in their sailing, there were were several breakdowns including the the Wiese's tiller extension breaking in the last race, the Bohman's bow fitting breaking at the finish (i.e. the mast fell down) of the last race, the Johnson's and Mike Shea both of whom got holed on the port sides of their boats, and Steve Mueller blew out a knee.  I'm sure I'm missing some of the stories but anyone that says that sailing isn't physical (it was pretty much full on hiking for all but Race 2) or boring (not enough too close action) is full of bilge water.

On the brighter side, Tracey Kenny & Robin won the B fleet and are now Lido 14 A sailors, we had 27 boats on the water, Roger Patterson's arm/shoulder now seems to be in good working order, the weather was really quite pleasant, and we had the entire inside bay area to ourselves for the whole weekend to play in!
