YRA of LIS Shields Crew Race- September 24,
2005 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon arrival at
LYC at noon the water outside the breakwater was white with big seas. It
looked like it might be a gear buster. By the time of the start of racing the
wind had backed off, but there was still a bit of rough water. As the
afternoon wore on, both the wind and seas clamed down. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following five Shields ventured forth from
the harbor into the rough seas and breeze to participate with the following skippers: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rascal #23 Chris Folley and Scott Wenzler |
|
|
|
|
|
Tailsman #38 Eric Jabart |
|
|
|
|
|
Havoc #41 Stephane
Lautner |
|
|
|
|
|
#54 Neil Meyer (crew from #70) |
|
|
|
|
|
Katherine #176 Mike Puleo |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first race
was L4, one mile and Neil Meyer won by over 5 1/2 minutes in front of Mike
Puleo followed closely in 15 seconds by Stephane Lautner and 13 seconds
behind him was Chris Folley. Eric Jabart was great to have raced and headed
home after rounding the last windward mark. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By the time the
second race started for the Shields the wind had moved to the south east and
was very light; so the course was L2, 3/4 mile. The finish was very close as
Stephane Lautner was across the line 15 seconds ahead of Mike Puleo. 22
seconds after came Neil Meyer followed by Scott Wenzler. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The overall
results showed a three way tie with Stephane Lautner, Neil Meyer and Mike
Puleo all with 4 points. As both Stephane and Neil had first places whereas
Mike didn't, that created another tie which was broken as Stephen beat Neil
in the last race. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accordingly, the final results are: |
