Gnarly Day at Olympic Gold Regatta

Gnarly day at the Lake. Winds were gusting 10-20 MPH with an occassional 25MPH. We lost one C-14.2 because of a malfunction causing it to return to the docks. Later one boat flipped and the sailors had to be rescued. A C-18 was lodged among boats and docks at the island. It was a great challenging experience.

Results

C-14.2
First place - Bob Amenta & Charlie Heatherly
Second Place - Franklin Cofod & Bruce Gillies
Third Place - Ross Ellena & Susan Kelsey

C-18
First place - Sal Scarpato & Stuart Kovalivker
Second place - Rob Schaefer & Charlie Bornhauser
Third Place - Ken Biachi & Michaella Johnson
