Copied from an email from Todd Williams, PRO for the event....
In spite of weather threats and some questionable weather Friday
night, we had a great weekend of sailing at this year's New England
100. Thanks go out to Frank Keefe for coming down to help, in spite
of being on crutches and Rick Bliss for doing a lot of the
preliminary work with the Quonset Development Corporation. The QDC
has made several significant changes to the facility at Compass Rose
Beach, but the site was still very useable and a great place to sail from.
We had 11 racers this year (and a couple of people who just came down
to sail), including 7 F-18s. The F-18 fleet turned out to be
extremely close, with everybody finishing with 12 minutes in combined
times. The finishes on Sunday were almost exactly the opposite of
those on Saturday.
Now, the results:
Class I (F-18 - elapsed time - both days)
1. Sandra Tartaligno 9:57:03 (corrected to Portsmouth 15:56:49)
2. Rick Bliss 10:03:07
3. Tyler Burd 10:03:10
4. Jim Zellmer 10:03:57
5. Mike Easton 10:05:08
6. Bill Bartlett 10:09:18
7. Rex Denton (WD on Saturday)
Class II (Open - corrected times - both days)
1. Chris Titcomb (n20) 15:51:26
2. Joe Valente (n20) 16:08:58
3. Mike Farrara (n20) 16:18:09
4. Richard Espinosa (H18SX) (DNF Sunday)
Full daily results will be forwarded and posted on the New England
Catamarans website in the near future.
Thanks again to everyone who came.
