2007 SEASON RECAP

The season officially began on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend with two races sailed and ended on the Monday of Labor Day weekend with two races sailed. Six other races were scattered throughout the season. Five skippers competed though no more than three in any race.

Due to a change in availability of KYC Sunfish for racing, it was difficult to get much racing in. Maybe more people with their own Sunfish will be interested in racing this year.

Results for the 2007 season. Bob Wilder first, Dave Perterson second, and John Wight third.

THE 2008 RACING SEASON

Racing will take place beginning at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoons again this year with no starts after 4:00 p.m.

The course sailed is generally a windward-leeward windward with marks rounded to port and with the start/finish line in the middle of the windward leg. We encourage Junior Sailors to join our fleets. Our fleet members are always available to help with boat rigging and tips for racing and rig tuning are freely given.

Races are sailed using the Delayed Start System. For each consecutive race that a boat wins, that boat will start the next race a number of seconds (10 times the number of wins) after the starting signal for the rest of the fleet.

Due to a change in availability of KYC Sunfish for racing, the fleet is in need of sailors with their own Sunfish who want to race.

The top three skippers for the season will have their names engraved on the Sunfish Fleet Season Championship trophy which will be on display in the clubhouse.
