Sunday was again sunny and had the same forecast. People arrived around noon and practiced in light wind conditions of 10-12. At about 4, we had a skipper’s meeting and decided to run 3 heats of 5 minutes for each group. The 3rd heat would be run with 4 sailors and be the final. In the novice final, Alissa ran against men on a small board of 85 l. and benefitted by a sudden wind surge that had her planing into gybe pirouettes and hoss tacks. In the amateur final, the wind backed backed off from planing, but sailors made due on short boards-Mike again coming out on top with a pro light wind performance that included one handed geckos and a boomerang move of his own called the guillotine.

Trophies were given out to the top three places in each group. Peter Kimball, Ted Bonner, Mike Burns, and Fred Vetterlein helped run the event, and Nancy and Doug Sheely provided the great barbeque. All the sailors learned new tricks, and hopefully new people will be inspired by the skills bought to Cape Cod for the weekend.

Novice Class:
1. Alissa Inman
2. Ed Dehart
3. Dr.Cliff Gluck

Amateur
1. Mike Burns
2. Johnathon Sasson
3. Chris Eldridge

Nice contest and blog! I enjoyed watching on Sunday even though the wind was light. It would have been great to see what everyone could have done in decent wind. Maybe next year.
