2008 Chippewa Lake Regatta

Chippewa Yacht Club, Chippewa OH

May 10

We had 12 boats that competed in the second annual Chippewa Lake regatta.  It was one of those days that every sailor pretty much dreams of.  We had sunny skies with a 5-10 knot breeze out of the north.  If you’re looking for a race by race breakdown, you’ll have to buy the novel, because we squeezed in 9 races for the day.  That’s right….9. 

It was a well balanced field with many of the regular Ohio faces, but what was wonderful was the 3 boats that showed up to sail in their first Jet regatta.   In the end, Nate Ireland and crew Ben Stock won the regatta with 20 points followed by Brian and Tiffany Parker with 25 points and Bridget Ireland and Joe Minard  in third with 32 points.

On a personal note I would like to thank the new sailors that came out as well as the more experienced sailors that helped the less experienced rig their boats and get under way.  One sailor even commented on how amazed he was that, as a class, we are so willing to help new people get out on the water.   Lets keep up the good work.
