The results for Saturday’s race are posted on the website. It was a very light air day, with a postponement for the start of race 1 for about half an hour till we had enough wind to start. The strategy was simply to sail where there was wind, not necessarily where you wanted to go! The wind picked up just enough to make race #2 sailable however dropped to zero on the last leg for the tail end of the fleet. The crowd gathered afterwards at Courigan’s again to cool off… The St Pete Grand Prix crowd drank all the Reef Donkey last weekend, so we had to settle for what was left.

With one race left to go, Mi Sueno leads Desiderata by two points in cruising, Eclipse leads One Up by 1 point in non-spin, Tack-Tick leads Warrior by 1 point in Spin A, and Odyssey has clinched first place for the season in Spin B. Remember, tie goes to the winner of the final race!!

Our final race of the 2014-15 season is in two weeks, on Sat 4/18 @10:00 am. There will be a cookout and a general membership meeting afterwards at the Sailing Center around 4:00 – stay tuned for the official invite from the Commodore. At the general membership meeting we will be seeking nominations for officers and volunteers for committees. We will discuss the plans for the summer and next season, and start taking membership renewals. Hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad provided. We encourage you to bring sides, deserts, etc. As usual, it’s BYOB. Please try to make the meeting even if you don’t sail! If you can’t make the meeting, please forward nominations, suggestions, etc. to the secretary@spsa.us.

Note, if there is anyone interested in being the race committee boat on a regular basis next instead of racing next season, let us know. This would allow us to have more boats actually racing.
