2010 LASER & LASER RADIAL
DISTRICT 19 CHAMPIONSHIP
GULL LAKE, MICHIGAN
Gull Lake Yacht Club did a great job hosting this years District. Chad Coberly and his wife Michelle did a lot of work getting it all organized. Michelle did registration and was able to get over a dozen new Lasere Class members signed up! Way to go!!
The club facilities are very, very nice. They even have towels in the shower! It is also a golf and country club but luckily they were able to tolerate us for a couple days .
Satrurday started out looking promising as we were rigging but then as we sailed out it got quite a bit lighter. We waited about 1/2 hour for the wind to settle enough before the RC got things going. Gull Lake had some interesting winds that sailors such as myself could never really figure out. If you look at the results you'll see some guys had it figured out pretty good. We got 4 races, as planned, sailed and were in by about 5pm.
Sunday did not look as promising and we all drifted to the starting area and waited about an hour for some wind. It was again difficult to figure out what side would pay. It seemed most of Saturday was "go left" but on Sunday it was hit and miss.
Chad ended up wining the tie breaker over Matt Woodworth for the overall win. After Master's scoring Chad also was top Master. He ran the regatta and won! Way to go!

Irish Boat Shop will be hosting the Laser racing on Little Traverse Bay again this summer! I apologize for getting this information out so late this year. Last year we had 14 boats registered and hopefully we will see that number increase again for this year.
I'm attaching a copy of our race flyer with all the details on the summer series (RacingBrochure2010.pdf , RacingApplication2010.doc ). I'm also attaching a registration sign-up sheet. Our warm-up race is this Saturday June 26th at 3:00 pm. The first race of the summer series is scheduled for Thursday July 1st at 6:00 pm. A skippers meeting will be held at 5:00 pm on July 1st at Ford Park.
Please pass this information along to anyone I may have missed. Contact me if you have questions or require additional information. I'm looking forward to joining everyone on the race course this summer and have able bodies lined up for the race committee.
Smooth Sailing,
Tom Trautman
