Chesapeake Bay Laser Masters Recap

["Jon Deutsch" <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mother Nature was smiling down on Deltaville Virginia September 10-11 with
beautiful conditions while Laser Masters sailors competed in the 24th Annual
Chesapeake Bay Laser Masters Championship.  Eighteen sailors got in 9 races
in two days to sail for the championship in 10-15 knot breezes and sunny
skies throughout the weekend.

James Jacob (FBYC) finished with 3 firsts to win the event by 3 points over
the next closest finishers.  Chris Legg (SSA), Mike Schmidt (MRSA) and Henry
Amthor (HYC) all tied for 2nd place which was decided in favor of Chris Legg
on the tiebreaker.  The fact that the top four spots were decided by only 3
points is a testament to the closeness of the racing.

First Apprentice Master was Ted Morgan (SSA).  First Master and Overall
winner was James Jacob.  Chris Legg was the first Grand Master and 2nd
overall.  First Great Grand Master was Bill Warren.  Diane Burton (SSA) was
the first Female.

Saturday evening the sailors, race committee and about a dozen club members
and guests sat down for one of Alain's famous dinners and they were not
disappointed.  Thanks go to Chef Alain Vincey, James Jacob, Steve Swenson,
Frank Murphy and John Hubbard for their help with dinner.

I would like to thank David Hazlehurst for all of his help in addition to
serving as PRO.  I would also like to thank the club and everyone else who
helped with this regatta; we could not have done it with out you.  We would
like to extend an invitation to all of the sailors to come back next year
for the 25th annual Chesapeake Bay Laser Masters Championship.
