72nd FBYC ANNUAL ONE DESIGN REGATTA Mother Nature had her way with the FBYC Annual One-Design Regatta Saturday and Sunday. There were 94 adult (individual or team) boats spread over 9 fleets. Saturday was an especially challenging day for the classes racing on the outer course (Flying Scot, Frontrunner, HOD, San Juan 21 and Typhoon) with winds in the high teens to low twenties. They got in one race on Saturday, and on Sunday, with t-storms threatening, only the Flying Scots and Frontrunners got in another race, before heading in. On the inner course, somewhat protected from Saturday's high winds, the Albacores got in 4 races and the Lasers, Laser Radials, and Windmills recorded 3. No classes in the inner course division got any racing done on Sunday. Be that as it may, the racers took advantage of plentiful wind and were watchful of extreme conditions. RESULTS: Flying Scots (30 racing): 1.John Aras (1-1); 2.John Kreidler (2-2); 3.Robert Whittemore (6-4). Frontrunners (9 racing): 1.Chris Rouzie (2-1); 2.Lee Farinholt (1-2); 3.Matt Braun (4-3). Hampton One-Design (7 racing): 1.Ian Stokes (1); 2.Latane Montague (2); 3.Ian Twinn (3). San Juan 21 (8 racing): 1.Hans Lessen (1); 2.Margaret Alexander (2); 3.Richard Dommel (3). Typhoons (9 racing): 1.Thomas Watkins (1); 2.Frank Birdsall (2); 3.Gary Hooper (3). Albacores (6 racing) 1.Matthew Edwards (1-1-1-3); 2.Michael Heinsdorf (3-2-3-1); 3.Robert Bear (2-4-4-2). Windmills (8 racing): 1.John Danneberger (1-1-1); 2.Roy Sherman (4-4-2); 3.Sandy Sponar (5-2-4). Lasers (8 racing): 1.Jon Deutsch (1-1-1); 2.Jeffery Moore (3-2-5); 3.Michael Toms (2-7-3).
