James Taylor won the Fallin for the second year in a row.  The weekend was highlighted by threats of bad weather but all turned out well and 5 races were sailed.  Results

Looking for Results from Attwood!

Steve Weeber and Eric Brandt sailed in the annual Pontiac Lake regatta this year.  Eric took Forth place one point out of third with Steve Finishing Ninth out of the 35 boat field.  Eric had one really good race where he horizoned the fleet.

This years North Americans were held in Buffalo New York.  There were conditions from blowing 35 with 6 foot waves to sun bathing for hours in the sun with no wind.  Please check out the Buffalo Canoe Club Site for Results.

Steve Weeber won the Stump Buster Regatta this year.  See Results

George Fischer won the Districts this year.  See Results

Well the 2004 Wind Shift was competed again this year June 12^th and 13^th.  The Lake or “Dammed Stream” as my wife calls it, provided the best conditions for this regatta seen in many years.  The wind was out of the South moving about 20 degrees to either side of South, with actual wind ripples on the water.  James Taylor was on and won the regatta, but the rest of the fleet had a tight battle for the other positions,  Steve Weeber Second and Eric Brant Third.  See Results WIND SHIFT REGATTA - Leather Lips

Steve had his new boat out in its first regatta.  He has sailed it a few times but this was a good opportunity to get the bugs out of the new boat for him.  Well he found some….  Temporary repairs were made (Lots of WD 40)  so he could sail Sunday. 

When we arrived back Sunday morning several boats found that their boats had a new names on them.  The presence of Karla Varley can not be confirmed but the Karla tradition was continued.

At the awards ceremony Eric Brant received a special award from James Taylor.  This Spring Eric, with his new boat attended the Pynmatuning Spring Classic.  Well on Saturday morning he put his new boat in the water and went off to the Skippers meeting.  When he returned his boat had come untied and drifted across the inlet to the other side and was aground.  The safety patrol went over and picked the boat up for him.  Well this could not go without a special award.  Erick was presented with a book called “THE KLUTZ BOOK OF KNOTS”.  This book has practice pieces of line and instructions on how to tie common sailing knots.

We just wanted to thank Leather Lips Yacht Club and Eric Brant for a great Regatta. 

See you next year.
