Stingray Point Regatta - Sailors 2, Ernesto 1
on Monday September 4, 2006 11:41AM
The Brent Halsey Jr. Memorial Trophy was captured by Brad Davis in Blade Runner based on his domination of the J-105 One Design Fleet, scoring five bullets in five races. For the second year in a row, FBYC won the Potts Challenge Trophy. FBYCs three boat team of Voodoo Chile, Carloan.com, and Loose Cannon beat a Hampton Yacht Club team, made up of Feather, Mirage and Flying Colors, which sailed up Saturday morning, freshened up in Jackson Creek and was on the line for the first start Saturday.
Cash Flow turned on the afterburners Sunday to score three firsts and seize first place for the regatta in PHRF-A. La Maga defended her lead after Saturdays racing to win PHRF-B, as did Small Potato in winning PHRF-C. In the two one design fleets, Blade Runner convincingly won the J-105 class, and Kobayashi Maru the J-24 fleet. In the PHRF-Non Spinnaker fleet, the fleet most depleted by Ernesto, No Fear took regatta honors. Complete race results and final standings are on the home page at www.fbyc.net.
To those who said no to Ernestos invitation to stay home and came out to race and help make the regatta happen, we thank you and salute you. To those, who, now the racing is done must turn thoughts and efforts to repairing homes and boats, we wish you a speedy recovery and a speedy return to the race course.
