Wildcat was great!

OK, so the wind was typical lake, but at least it didn't get rained out. It was great to see all you guys again, and for you slackers who didn't show up, you missed a great regatta.

In spite of the light air, Louie got in 7 races Sat. and Sun. Robie and Jill put on a great starting clinic Friday, with an excellent video debrief on Friday night. Pretty good turnout too, with 43 boats total, biggest class was the 13 A cats, Hobie 16's had a good fleet as well as the F18's.

Even the Nazi make a guest apearance, along with JC and Tod, we had several newbies crewing too.

Thanks to everyone who put that on, the LESC, Ding, Rick and Terry, and of course Louie and the RC.

Fortunately there was enough wind Sunday. I agree- great regatta, well run. Except for the tricky %)(*&#$%^& who changed our A-class course from 1G to 2G in a hurry to quick-start when I wasn't looking. DOH!
The A-class had excellent, high quality racing with many lead changes, no protests, no collisions. I say this is the best quality, deepest fleet in the Southeastern US. And we have 25 boats on our Florida mailing list plus Randy Smyth. Maybe the F18 folks can argue futilely....
Will Ding post the results here?

WildCat Results 2010

Glad you guys enjoyed it.

If you see anything that doesn't look right in the results please let me know and I'll happily review the raw data.

I shouldn't have lost on trip. aces.

I agree that's just wrong!! And what makes it worse is he caught his flush on the river! Some people just won't go away :-)

You guys should just be glad Robi's Mom didn't show up and clean you out...again!

That woman is a poker machine!

Okay you may have the numbers in FL, but we're still better lookin!

We (spin boats) definitely have more girls! Cheryl, Kathy, Beth, Gina, Riley.. Who'd I leave out?

You've really mastered the preemptive strike strategy and it's really sucking the fun right out it for me.

Man, that's good stuff.

I did race committee to escape my nut-kicking. Ding is running low on targets.

That was wise on your part! I have to give him a special custom shirt every year at Spring Fever to stay off his boot-list.

Hey, one my Melges 24 skippers that was the on the inside of a unusually large M24 raft up said to the outside boats "Fellas there's an a$$hole on every dock and on this dock it's me... get moving I want to go sailing". 10 minutes later we were on our way out the harbor.

Gentlemen I'm the a$$hole on your dock.

And he has a custom shirt to prove it.

LOL

Jake,

Thats an butt... that has a hole in it.

I don't get it.

Ding, I've got a T-shirt for you, my brother gave it to me but I don't wear it, so you can have it. It says,

"Jesus Loves You, everyone else thinks your an ****"

;^)

Great! I was trying to figure out what to make him for next year!

see, having the nutz in the freezer has given me ESP abilities...

sad for you, sensei, that you have run out of targets...

Took some videos the first day. This one I uploaded earlier. I got two more, one of the A-cat start and another of the non-spin open class but they're in processing by YT.

"Karl and Beth got a great start......someones over early."

You had to announce the OCS to the whole world. You couln't have stopped with Karl and Beth got a great start!

notice that I didn't say who was OCS precious :P

Looking at the video, I think it's pretty obvious who the offender was. It was ALMOST a stellar start.

Shouldn't it read:

"Jesus loves me, everyone else thinks I'm an a$$hole"

It doesn't make sense the other way around if I'm wearing it.

Non-spin open start, and F18 leward gate roundings:

I guess so, I think Jake said he could fix it, just for you!

;^)

I was confused about that too. Easy to fix.

A-cat start:

Put that on the front, and on the back say "And even Jesus is getting sick of my ****."
