So, what's going on and who is there?

I thought there was supposed to be a practice race today?

Any news would be appreciated since I didn't get to go!

Mike

I sure hope the 20s didn't let Trey port tack the fleet again.

It was a good day to be on the water. A better day to be on a Viper from Panama City

really nice conditions yesterday. I'd guess 8 to 12 knots of breeze most of the time. Racing started at 11 and finished at 5 with 5 races, most 3 times around.

No, there was none of that going on :P

Anyone have any results?

All I know is that Charlie Trinque and Holly got 1st and Trey 2nd in the Nacra 20 class.

I did so poorly that I didn't even get put on the scoresheet :P

I know how you feel on that!

We always make sure you are on the score sheet mike, Chris has to beat someone.
Was really a great weekend of sailing. The winds Saturday were great double handing and not to terrrible for single handing it looked like. Then Sunday was great single handed sailing and ok double handing. Patrick got 2 bullets on sunday with some great sailing and claim they were his first ever bullets. Maybe a new trend for him. Taylor and Matt were killing us all on saturday even taking line honors over the entire fleet of 20s and 18s in one race. Over all was a great weekend of sailing and thanks a lot to Kevin and the reset of the RC for running some nice long races and getting in 8 races.

Jody and Joanna for 1st overall in the f16 class! Nice!
Do u have link to the results?
I am on my way back to the cold white north today. I saw 'wintry mix' in the forecast for the next 3 days. Ugh

Here are the complete results for the 34th Pensacola Midwinters:

*Mark Smith sailed with an experimental/developmental(?) suit of sails built by Schurr Sails of Pensacola

Thanks to Rick Adams for providing the committee boat, Bert Rice Sr. and Adrian Solomon for mark set and pin set work and, as always, Kirk Newkirk for hosting.

Rick Adams is da man!

Photos are bundled with some drama from out of town. Images from the Midwinter Championship were captured by Jeanne Crooke and Millie Rice.

Enjoy the drama with Aloha.

The top three teams were also the only mixed teams there.

Congratulations!

Who was the USA 3 Viper with the Shure Sails mainsail? That looked like a massive "square" top!

holy cows!

I understand he was on the US Boardsailing team in the late eighties, and US 3 was his sail number during his Olympic campaign.

That is Bert Rice and Michael Rice.

So where can I get a new mainsail like that?

Is the head fatter than 'normal' or is it an optical illusion in the photo? One of the I 20's head's looked quite fat as well, same sailmaker or optical illusion there as well?
