Aug. 19
Fleet 51 hosted the 2006 Gravy Bowl and Leg II of the District 1 Championships at HSC on August 19. A fleet of 13 answered the starting gun under the able command of Ted Klein, Derek Stow and Bob Orr. With former and current National Champions and Class Presidents in attendance, Sean and Kerrie DeFusco returned to HSC to once again win the event in extremely challenging, light air conditions.
With a 60-minute time limit per race imposed by the sailing instructions, the fleet was challenged to finish each race in time. In race two, Brent Barbehenn sailing with Caleb Zimmerman finished first in 55 minutes! Due to the conditions, only three races were completed and only three points separated first and third. Guido Bertocci sailing with Ann Myers from Raritan Yacht Club placed second with 13 points winning a tiebreaker with Brent and Caleb.
In the District Championship it looks to be a three horse race going into the final leg at Packanack in October. The championship is a best two out of three regattas affair where your best two results are totaled to determine the overall winner. Doug Brown and Guido Bertocci each have a win in one leg while Chris Adams of Pines Lake has placed second in each of the first two legs. We’re looking forward to an exciting conclusion in October.
