Spring Series was brought back to NYC this year and 19 boats competed over the 3-day series! Let’s keep this going in 2011.
We had little wind-Day 1, we had good wind-Day 2, and then we had mucho wind-Day 3 that changed 180 at the start sequencing of the first race, and a 210 degree change between the first and remaining races.
Thank you to David Hack and Tom, our Race Committe for keeping up with the wind!

We had a great turn out on Sunday, March 28th on the Dock. 15 Boats registered! Race Committee found the elusive wind spot on the lake, got a race off on time (exactly at 10:30)! Unfortunately, the wind shut down bringing us to the dock after just one race for cold beer- did I say unfortunately?
It was great to see 15 boats participate and the 40 plus people come to commence the first Cruisers Classic!
Congrats to:
· 1st Place Possibilities
· 2nd Place Windsornaut
· 3rd Place BN Nauti
· Over Early Recognition Soul Mate
· Last to Start Encouragement Spin Cyle
We had 10 other boats contributing to the Classic Cruisers success:
Resolution, Kona, Loose Change, Lady Jane, Lucie D, Startacker, Walkabout, Abundance, Kahlua, Brandywine
Cheers!!
