2005 Gravy Bowl Regatta

Saturday,  August 27, turned out to be an interesting day to sail at Spruce Run....with plenty of wind for races 1 and 3, and a breather for race 2.  Racing was very competitive with 3 boats tied for first on point totals. 

 As has become his style, Doug Brown won with a tie-breaking first in the final race, AND will be awarded the NJYRA Jet 14 State Championship 

 10 Jets participated, including a Pines Lake contingent of Chris Adams sailing with Greg Thomas, and Scott and Bob Higgins.  Nicky nominated Scott and Bob for well-deserved Strivers Awards.

 And all were pleased to sail with HSC's rising star Guido Bertocci with crew Simon who tied for first and took second place trophies. Brent and Barbara Benson, also tied in first place points, took third....their turn to win a tie-breaker comes up next!

 The race committee, headed by PRO Bill Waggoner, was thanked for their square lines a good courses under shifty conditions.  Assisting Bill were Nancy Waggoner, Edna Lehotay, Ramon and Cathy Rosswaag (Cathy volunteering as a last-minute replacement), Jim Bardwil, and Terry and Teddy Wells......our thanks to you all!
