Season Recap from Patrick Andreasen: Who could have asked for more! There were seven race days that began on Sunday, April 3rd with wetsuits and drysuits. The last day, Sunday, May 22nd, saw some racers decked out in hiking pants and tech shirts, with the winds ranging 0 - 32 knots! The Race Committee ran thirty seven fun races. The total number of races was forty eight, and the larger race days saw thirty boats on the line! Racers’ ages ranged from 16 to 60+. A huge thank you to all the Race Committee members who ran all the races, kept us safe, and also entertained us in the Sailing Center.

A shout goes out to Kate and Tom Dailey who did everything from promoting the fleet, scrambling around to rig the loaner boat, getting pizza, awards and more. New member Ulf Westhoven kept our WhatsApp site “Untethered Gipsy'' going and did an impressive job with scoring. Now that the racers and Race Committee are tuned up, we are ready to have some fabulous summer racing.
