The Organizing Authority, of course, decides how the trophies are distributed among classes, not the race commitee. Dennis and John are the only ones who got deprived of a trophy if the OA had decided to go with overall fleet trophies. They had four sets of trophies. A decision was made.
Dennis and John have lots of trophies. The first time I wrote Fondrk's name in the Sailing column of the St. Petersburg Times newspaper the editor phoned to ask if I'd missed a vowel in his name. That was six years ago.
In this event there was ONE boat, a Windmill, in the Portsmouth class on the bay. He and his crew got a trophy. They supported the regatta!
Yes, we get more cats at the Saturday races at Gulfport YC. But we appreciate those who did show up to Clearwater Sailing Center this weekend.
