2007 Lorain SC One Design Regatta

Lorain, OH

July 7

Jets revived some history on western Lake Erie July 7th, attending Lorain Sailing Club's One Design Regatta.  It's been quite a few years since Jets had a presence in the area.  The 1970 Nationals were held just west of Lorain in Vermillion.

Six Jets made it to the regatta, hoping to glean luck from the luckiest of all days: July 7, 2007 and tune up for the Nationals in Island Heights.  The Michoses hoped to put #7 on the water but the varnish wasn't drying fast enough.

The Race Committee got off three windward/leeward races.  All three races had intense competition stressing good starts.  There were a lot of overlaps at the marks.  Dave and Sue Michos on #217 led the fleet with three bullets, though third-place Bridget Ireland and Seth Parker in #1147 kept finding good stuff on the right corner to contest their lead a couple of times.  Marion and Carol Zaugg (#1132) kept the heat on finishing second.  Nate Ireland had #1134 going good  So did newcomer Brad Koinis and fiancee Kate in their newly bought and re-rigged #1091.  The boat is still getting bugs worked out but still managed to finish the first race before losing their jib halyard.  Ivan Baker and friend Shana also made it out in #443.

Ohio Jetters have been busy the past couple of years promoting their boats across the state.  In the past we've attended invitational regattas at Sandusky and Vermillion.  The multi-class regattas have proven a great promotion for the Jet and peaked interest from potential Jetters.
