Spring Point Score Races 13 & 14

Report by PRO Dave Newman

For the final races of 2024 and concluding the Spring Pointscore Series with Races 13 & 14, we were greeted with a light Nor'easterly breeze predicted to rotate to the East, which it did just after resetting a NE course! 

After some quick adjustments we got underway in a 6-8 knot breeze and outgoing tide which resulted in some OCS in both ILCA 6 & 7. Race 13 was won by Michael Morris in the ILCA 6 and Stephen Reid in the ILCA 7.

The breeze increased for the beginning of race 14 before lighting as the race went on. The chocolates in Race 14 went to Michael Morris again in the ILCA 6 & our illustrious Commodore Steve London took the win in both Race 14 and the Spring Series for 2024. Jim Dounis sailed another consistent series winning the Pointscore Series in the ILCA 6, and the ILCA 4 Pointscore was won by Tucker McKeon.

Thanks to the outstanding on and off water work from Diana Chen, Jack Restuccia & Andrew Simpson. Merry Christmas!
