CAPITOL DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP

This past weekend was the Capitol District Championship Regatta hosted by our fleet. Twenty boats raced in near perfect weather conditions. All five races were completed in shifty conditions that made the racing interesting going around the race course -- going to the correct side of the course made big gains at the marks!

The complete results and some Pictures taken by Tom Roberts - Scot sailor for the weekend, can be found on the FBYC web site.Half of the boats racing were from our fleet, although two boats were borrowed by some of the Mobjack sailors.

The level of competition was very high. The new District Champion, David Neff from Fleet #42, finished 4th earlier this summer at the NAC. Jerry and Andrea Latell from nearby RRYC sailed a great series to take Second Place. Defending District Champ Hans Noordanus and Frank Gibson tied for Third Place.

Brooks Zerkel and his team did an excellent job running the races. Not only did we have great racing conditions -- we had THE BEST dinner on Saturday Night! Thanks to Chef Julia McNeal and her assistant Sharon Bauer we all feasted!

I want to thank everyone that pitched in to help - we couldn't have done it without you. District Governor Hans Noordanus wanted me to thank ALL of our fleet members and the Fishing Bay Yacht Club for their help and support in making this regatta so successful.

We will be hosting the Flying Scot Atlantic Coast Championship next season and hope to have 35+ boats attending from all over the East Coast.
