Report by Rick Peters: This years Baxter Bowl hosted by Newport Harbor Yacht Club was Southern California sailing at it's finest! Eleven Stars participated, Steve Gould and Greg Sieck drove down from San Francisco, while Derek DeCouteau and his crew came all the way down from Seattle. Saturday a strong southerly provided 10-12 knots of solid breeze all day, seas were very sloppy, the boat never seemed to steady, nerve racking for sure! Must not have been much fun on the Jim Webster, thanks to the R/C for running good races all weekend. John O'Donnell with Erik Lidesis crewing won the day with consistent top 3 finishes. Sunday had more traditional Newport Beach conditions, westerly winds were puffy in the 7-10 knot range, it was not just standard go right stuff, you had to stay in the pressure to come out on top. The competition was fierce, hard to find friends out there, it was tricky to stay in phase, and every mistake cost you big time! The Madigan's, a local father/son team had a nice last race, they were trying out a borrowed Star and we hope to see them back soon. Jim and I held on to win the last race, not giving up even after an 8th in the first race! Thanks to everyone for coming, for those of you that did not make it you missed some great racing. Next up is the Lipton Cup on July 10-11th in Santa Barbara, it is also the District 5 Championship. |
