There's supposed to be pics coming as well, but that's all I know about it.

Aren't you supposed to be driving?

If you are it is not safe to "surf" and drive at the same time!

I raced (crewed for) Riley McDonald this weekend. By all measures it was a fantastic weekend.

Can't say enough for GYC, the race committee and the chef/service help at the club for dinner ... all OUTSTANDING! If you've never been to an event hosted by GYC you're missing out.

Racing with Riley was a blast. She's a trooper ... just like my "uni" crew ... never talks back (at least on the water).

Friday night she gave me strict instructions--"Don't get drunk at the party!". We were sharing a house with the McDonald's so when I got back I "played" like I was toasted. "Mr. Terry you're DRUNK!" HAHAHAH, I got you!

Saturday night my wife and I got back to the house before Riley, she asked my wife if I was in bed sleeping .... A freakin' bed check! A BED CHECK for gods sake!!!

Anyway, she did great and we had all kinds of conditions, from floaters to med-hvy air with gusts. She's a good driver and is looking for a 14-15 yr old hunky boy for a crew.

We capsized one time all weekend, by demand from Mr. Seth because he said too .... we did it before the first race ... HAHAHA take that Seth.

It was great to see the usuals and new faces around. It was like an ol' class reunion.

Awesome stuff guys!

Great to see you out there again Robi, nice graphics on the boat too, that Pheonix really sparkles when the sun hits it just right!

I emailed the results to F16 association, maybe someone can figure out how to post them.

Good to see everyone, thanks for all your help.

Pete,

You can mail/pm them to me (I can access the website, facebook and twitter page).
I'll upload them tonight (within 6 hours).

Thanks for putting this together Pete! Now you know why nobody wants to be class President! You should have come out when Ed was on the beach fixing his boat, then you could have handed the torch to him!

And thanks to all the "Beach Patrol" provided by the GYC (John and Chuck?) who were great about getting our beach wheels after launch and upon returning, helping step and unstep masts, moving trailers around, etc.
It's nice to have that kind of help when racing Uni!



Here's the West River Sailing Club info for next NA's: http://www.westriversc.org/

This was a really fun time! We had a bit of everything as far as conditions go and although we are light, those were our worst finishes. Sailing is sailing and that goes for all conditions even the hated (by me) heavy and punchy winds. We had to work for everything this weekend and we are hurting today; a good hurt. We are looking forward to F-16 Nationals next year in Maryland.

As usual we had great sailing with great friends and for those of you that couldn't join us, make it work in 2011. You won't be sorry.

Can anyone send me the results? I'm home now and will be able to update the f16 website. And I also want to know the results! :-)

Next weekend our racing season is starting finally! After reading this and the Aussie regatta I really can't wait to get out and race!

Gill

PM your email address, please.

I sent the results to Gilo at Noon.

Could you attach them to here as well?

Check out the F16 site, results online! :-)

If any of you that were at the regatta want to send me a text to get along with the results, just do so. Maybe also including the next possible venue?

Thanks Gill. Here's a copy to save people a few seconds -

Ok, sorry that didn't work out so well. Right click - view image will show it full size.

we should take note that Tback and Riley stopped to give assistance during the race. One of the younger crew had gotten separated from his boat so T&Riley rendered assistance without redress, though I'm sure it would have been given.

Good job T.

Have pictures been posted anywhere?

Jeffrey Marks was sailing sloop, with his son I think.
