| Dennis on rails takes 2nd on the weekend! - Monday, April 28, 2008Senior MC sailor Dennis Oldham (881) proved he's no slouch after 12+ years in the MC taking second place in a winning tie-break with Lee Sayler (2201) in the 2-9 mph airs over this past weekend! Huge holes were everywhere and Dennis seemed to hop from one puff to the next without issue and had 2 huge come-from-behinds to finish in the top few.
David Moring (2188) found the winds more to his strength and put off determined efforts by Jon Pomerleau (2367) and Lee in race #1, Geoff Moehl (2412) and Bob Cole (2350) in race #2, Jon again in race #3, and finally Lee and Dennis together again in race #4 to win 4 straight bullets. Dennis and Cliff Trent (830) proved the old boats are still competitive with the right skipper - Cliff has a 6th in the 3rd race. The first mark of each race was pretty contentious for the whole fleet with the leader and the last boat only a minute apart, though the holes and shifts soon took over and spread the fleet out over 1-1/2 legs.
Last weekend before Memorial Day is in 2 weeks so make sure to come out. Dave Leather (2316) has a cookout planned for Saturday afternoon, so bring a side-dish and be sure to stay over for food and friends! read more ...

| Weekend Scoring Updates complete to this past weekend! - Monday, April 14, 2008This weekend was about as perfect as you can get! With winds 8-15, everyone kept moving and mark roundings were generally tight. Scott Tillema (2107) shook it up this weekend scoring an almost-perfect weekend to win 1-1-5-1, while Jon Pomerleau (2367) worked the inside looking for any weakness and finished a strong second. Just behind him, Dave Moorhouse (2074) also had very consistent finishes in the breeze to finish 3rd. Other strong performances were Len Lesperance with a 5-4, Mike Baldacchino with his first top 5 finish!
For the 4th Series, Scott leads the David Moring (2188) by 2 points who is, in turn, only ahead of Jon by 1 point. In the Overall, David is leading Jon by a mere 15 points while Dave Moorhouse in 3rd is leading Scott by a mere 6 points. That is some seriously close racing after 8 months - so come on out and get in the action! Results are in the "Read More" below - recap to follow soon hopefully! read more ...

| So many events - so little time! - Friday, February 22, 2008You will notice that as our racing action gets fast-and-furious, the updates get leaner. We're currently in our 3rd week of back-to-back weekends and this will continue until after Midwinters!Well, apologies, but I'd rather be sailing! Seriously, we just concluded the 38th Annual GWB and it was a HUGE success with 130+ boats and 35 MCs as the largest fleet. Results are at MCScow.org Complete recap from Jamie at Melges (who won the regatta) can be found here, and Dr. Rob Terry's (2nd overall) take on the light air conditions we had for 2 of the races is in our Recaps.

| Results Updated to 1/19/2008! - Monday, January 28, 2008Results are updated for the Weekends, Series, and Overall. We just finished up the Hartge Series and David Moring (2188) pulled out of his funk a bit to take 4 bullets in a row on the year's first weekend to lock the series in. Dave Moorhouse (2074) barely edged out Lee Sayler (2201) by 1 point to win 2nd place and Lee was only a couple of points ahead of Scott Tillema (2107) and Scott was just barely in 4th with just another few points on Jon Pomerleau (2367) - the points for 2-5th were CLOSE!
On the year's Overall scoreboad, David's showing on the first weekend vaulted him to within a point of Pomerleau, and the "Real DM's" additional 2 bullets on the January 19th put him in 1st for the first time all year! But gang, its not over yet! Jon is only 5 points behind and Dave Moorhouse is only 20 behind him in 3rd place! Stay tuned!
