What are our Sailors Doing?

LNYC was well-represented once again at Charleston Race Week, April 18-21 with sailors on all 3 inshore courses, out on the ocean as well as providing RC assistance. Charleston is always a challenging race venue, particularly in the harbor, and this year wasn’t any different. Big breeze dominated for most of the regatta. In fact, too much breeze prompted cancelling of the racing on Sunday with steady 30-35 and gusts as high as 50.

Notable results:

· U20 – 1st BJ Jones

· U20 – 7th Don Olive

· J70 – 28th (of 55 boats) Ken Corsig

LNYC sailors crewing on a variety of boats included Bill Wiggins, Angie Wiggins ( racing with BJ & Emily Jones), Jordan Wiggins, Trey Sunderland, Adam Coker, Alan Elam, Brad Russell, Emily Aspland, John Mellnik & Treez Decker

Congratulations to all of these sailors!
