DF95 Racing. 9/16/25

All,

Another fun day with the Northeasterly breeze! Will we ever get a steady southwesterly breeze.

Fokka wins 6 of 8 races and takes first place overall. Greg with the other 2 wins to place second for the day.

Louis with a nice day comes in third after placing 2nd in race 6 breaks the third-place tie with Bill who comes in fourth.

Nick, Mike and Al all tie with 33 points but Nick takes 5 place with 2 second place finishes. Mike places 6th with 1 – 2nd place and Al rounds out the scoring.

September 23rd ends the yearlong scoring. Hope you all can make it.

I do plan on sailing September 30, but the scoring for the last day will not count. Rob and I plan on taking out the markers after racing and take the row boat to the shed for winter.

Bill Raposa, we need your help opening the shed. Please let myself or Rob know if you are available to open the shed

 A big thanks to Judy and Connie for your help!

Mike

DF95 Racing 9/9/25

Seven seasoned sailors strategized swirling seabreezes, succom to Fokka.

 With a swirling northerly breeze around 8 knots with gusts around 15, Fokka wins 6 of the 10 races today and takes first place. Greg had a nice day winning 3 races and placing second for the day. Paul Mercer making a guest appearance (and we hope for some more) placed third. Bill David won 1 race  and finished fourth for today. Al, Mike and Louis rounded out todays scoring.

A big Thanks to Judy and Connie for scoring and time keeping. Bill David was today’s race director.

Let’s keep an eye on Tuesday September 16th’s weather forecast. Tides look like 0936 for low tide.

I would like to keep the season going to at least September 30th if we can keep enough sailors. We can discuss “When” to cut off the scoring for the season. I am thinking that we stay with the end of season scoring September 23 but continue sailing after for non-scoring races and maybe if anyone wants to race a Soling we could do that too.

DF95 Racing. 9/2/25

With a (Very) calm northerly breeze, 6 sailors were able to get 10 races in. The majority of the race courses were starting line, then due north to red buoy, starboard to yellow buoy, starboard to finish line. We wanted to make quick races due to the calm breeze.

Connie was the official scorer and to start the races, thank you Connie for your much needed help!

Fokka was the overall winner with 4 1st place finishes. BTW, Fokka did his best to try and let someone else win one race by going to the wrong buoy. If I remember correctly, he still found the wind and came in a close 2nd.

Greg came in 2nd with 3 1st place finishes. Nick came in 3rd with 2 1st place finishes. Rob had the other 1st place winner before his date with the dentist! Al and I did our best, but…..

The results are attached and can also be found on our website mhbmyc.org

DF95 racing resumes next Tuesday, September 9th. Hope you all can make it!

Any questions, comments or concerns can come my way. I’m in the process of getting the web page and email addresses updated.

Fair Winds and Following Seas to Derek, Kim and Paul Mercer
