SBRNYCU is an independent weekly publication of southern Chesapeake Bay
racing happenings.
Kahuna, Cheryl Lea, Movin' On, and Checks in the Mail romp in CCV
Spring Series #1: Mother Nature lured the fleet out with promise of a
10-15 knot southerly, let things get underway, and smashed everyone's
plans with a 90 degree shift to the East, and winds building to the low
20s. At one point the wind at the leeward mark was at 085, and at the
same moment at the windward mark it was 165. A good first spring race
test for the 37 boats (of 55 registered) on the course. RESULTS: PHRF
A: 1. Sanford Richardson, Kahuna (Farr 395); 2. Sledd Shelhorse,
Scherherazade (Taylor 40); 3. Dave Eberwine, Sea Star (J/36); PHRF B:
1. Ben Weeks, Cheryl Lea (J/29); 2. Rusty Burshell, Cool Change
(J/30); 3. Bill Chandler, Rhumb Line (J/30); PHRF C: 1. Mike
Austin, Movin' On (Beneteau FC8; 2. Bill Peach, Surprise (Alerion 29
Express); 3. Ben Cuker, Callinectes (Cal 30-3). PHRF Non-Spin: 1.
Jim Williams, Checks-in-the-Mail (Catalina 38); 2. Ed Andrews, No
Problem (Pearson 26); 3. Tom Peddy, Impulse (Catalina 34). PRO: John
McCarthy; Signal Boat Skipper: Dick Boykin; Mark Boat: Bill Gibbings.
The Movin' On crew, which included Dan Smoker (Smoke), came out of
Wormley Creek to win PHRF C in yesterday's CCV racing. As if the gang
from the York River couldn't satisfy their sailing itch with a day full
of racing, they jumped back in the Mike Austin's Beneteau FC8 and sailed
back home before the coals on the hotdog grill had cooled.
There were reports of some "tea bag" action in yesterday's southern Bay
CCV racing: one of the boats in the PHRF C fleet dunked two crew at
the same stress-filled moment on the way downwind when a 20+ knot gust
slammed 'em. No harm done; the crew stayed attached to the boat.
NEXT SUNDAY, May 2 - the beat goes on - CCV Spring Series Race #2. For
info contact John McCarthy, (757) 850-4225.
Remember: Racing crew wanna-bees or wanna-bee betters - CCV "Learn to
Crew on a Racing Sailboat Program" begins Tuesday, May 4 and runs every
Tuesday and Wednesday evening throughout May. For info contact Neal
Garrett at (757) 727-0742.
The very popular Women's Dinghy Sailing Clinic will run June 12 and 13
at Hampton Yacht Club. This is a great opportunity for women of various
levels of sailing skill, to learn, refresh, and/or improve. There is
some classroom time, but the vast majority of the time is spend in the
boats on the water (the best place to learn)! The clinic is OPEN TO
WOMEN WITH BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE SAILING SKILLS; an opportunity to
learn the basics or just hone driving skills. For info contact Leigh
Morgan at (757) 726-9640. Do not wait to decide on this - the course
will fill up fast.
BBSA's Little Creek SA opened their Wednesday Night Series last week
with a record number (17) boats on the line.
Friends of Steve Bardwell: There will be a final celebration of Steve's
life on the Chesapeake Bay on Saturday, May 1. Steve's family will
depart from Hampton Yacht Club at 1100 aboard John Hanna's Battlewagon
to rendezvous with all other interested parties in the vicinity of CCV
Mark "Z" (tall Navy range light) at 1200. Steve's family will welcome
his friends at a reception at HYC at 1400. For additional information,
please contact Chauncey Wu at chaunceywu@xxxxxxxxxxx
White Shoal Sailing Club, in their first year , ran the 2nd race of
their spring series up on the James River on Sunday. RESULTS: 1. John
Edwards, Recovery (Hunter 30); 2. Richard Cassell, Alexis (Cal 330);
and 3. John Wandling, Rebecca J (J/27). Six boats turned out to race
non-spin in ESE winds of 10-15.
Jake Brodersen completed the impossible by finishing a major keel
reclamation project on Midnight Mistress (C&C 33), got her launched, and
on the race course in less than a week.
Norfolk Yacht and Country Club will begin their OPEN TO ALL Friday
Night Racing Series this Friday (April 30). It's an 8 race series.
The committee boat will be stationed at the mouth of the Lafayette River
on the Elizabeth River. Racing starts at 1830. For info contact Frank
Stewart at (757) 489-4128.
Greg Cutter has a new pair of dangle earrings for the family boat
jewelry collection. Both of Gremellyn's
spinnaker halyards broke during Sunday's racing leaving the Cutters with
a stunning pair of shackles with preventer balls.
The Annapolis NOOD Regatta is this coming weekend. That's NOOD -
National Offshore One Design, not the "birthday suit" regatta like your
non-sailing friends think you are talking about!
HYC went the extra mile and brought in a huge crane Sunday morning to
launch and retrieve J/24's for the day's action. The brand new J/24
(and other "big boats") hoist will be ready soon.
One design and daysailor boats under 22 feet - here's a special event
for you. Portsmouth Boat Club sponsors the Merrimac Memorial Regatta &
Family Picnic at Portsmouth City Park on Saturday May 29th. Break out
the lawn chairs and pull the tarp off the family dinghy. This will be
fun. For info contact Jack Herbert at (757) 934-6766.
Saturday, Cheryl Lea, Ben Week's J/29, looked anything but race ready -
her running rigging and a lot of the standing rigging was strewn about
the deck and dock looking like spaghetti when the pasta chef goes
berserk. Race she did on Sunday, showing her past form by winning B
Fleet.
Kudos to Bill Rice and staff at HYC for putting together an impromptu
breakfast buffet Sunday to send well fed racers out to do racing.
