The Shoreline Model Yacht Club welcomed back two of our newest
members at the September regatta, Bob Kolowich
and Jeff Solinger, bringing the
fleet to five boats for the day. Bill Wright
was off in San Jose racing ODOMs but is expected back next month. While we love
sailing against Bill, his absence provided new opportunities for others to
advance in the club standings.
The presence of five boats clearly made for a more enjoyable
and competitive day of sailing despite light and variable winds. Steve Delva
was first for the day with 14 points posting 4 first place finishes and 5
seconds. In second place was Pip Ziman
with 18 points and 3 first places. Bob
Kolowich was third with an impressive 21 points ending the day with 2
first place finishes. Gary Watson
got his first 1st place finish this month and put pressure on the
rest of the fleet throughout the day. Jeff Solinger
had his first full day on the water but is still learning tuning and boat
handling. He shows promise of being a real competitor. It is interesting to
note that boat lengths between finishers have drastically decreased during the
season.
There are rumors that we may have even one more new member
in October, and with Bill’s return should make for a very spirited day of
sailing.
