From Coach Gordy Bowers
The ice officially went off Lake Minnetonka April 13. We were able to get out to the Lighthouse Island and get most of the 420s rigged. The next day we put in docks and started practice. The regatta was held Saturday and Sunday April 18-19. It was only possible due to much hard work by our sailors, parents and volunteers.
Participation has risen dramatically from six teams two years ago to twelve teams this year. Twelve is the number of teams at a Baker National Championship. The winds were northerly both days at around 4-12mph. Saturday we were able to sail a full schedule of 66 races starting at 10am and ending at 6:30pm. We had to re-order food! Sunday we were able to get in a full set of races for gold, silver and bronze. Many thanks are due to our PRO David Gross and his team of John Peterson, Dan Crear, Willie Crear, Bruce Martinson and Steve Bernstein for the long hours on the water.
The winner was New Trier High School with a perfect record of all wins. They are setting a high standard for all other teams in our district. Second was Lake Forest. All of the teams improved dramatically over the weekend which is the reason we worked so hard to put on a team racing regatta of this size. Congratulations to all the competitors.
