Lake Yosemite Regatta at Lake Yosemite YC, Merced, CaMay 15 - 16
Story
Three Windmills sailed in the regatta and we all had a great time. My crew for the regatta was Tony Nunes, a world class jet-ski racer who has never been a sail boat. He arrived a day early for some practice, but the wind was almost nonexistent. About all that was accomplished was him learning how to set my manual whisker pole.
Scott & Jessica, Armand & Kelsey arrived Saturday morning. Still no wind and the start of race one was delayed until 1:30 with light winds. Scott gave us a driving clinic on finding wind to sail a boat. Races 2 & 3 the wind picked and sailing was excellent. The Windmill finally got Tony's attention with us both hiked out and going like crazy. On day two there were light winds for the 2 races. It ended up with Scott beating both Armand & myself quite handily. Scott also took 2nd place in the open centerboard division, his prize was a beautiful trophy with a blown glass sail boat. LYSA had a great dinner on Saturday evening.

Do to conflicts with graduations, moving & house addition projects we had only 3 Windmills at the Lake Yosemite Regatta. Saturday's racing was postponed until 1:30 becuse of no wind, but then picked up nicely and the conditions were ideal for the 2nd & 3rd race an Saturday. The wind was light for Sunday's 2 races. Scott Rovanpera captured 2nd place in the open centerboard division. The other 2 windmills were skippered by Darrell Sorensen and Armand Peterson. The Lake Yosemite Sailing Association put on an excellent dinner saturday evening. We had a great time at the regatta and plan to be back next year with more Windmills in tow.
