2011 MRYC Spring Regatta

We were treated to a pleasant weekend of light to moderate wind sailing at the Mile River Yacht Club, close to St. Michaels and the Chesapeake Bay. Northerly winds prevailed both days, but the conditions on Saturday were much spottier and diligence was required to keep in wind lanes. The team of Bert Collins and Jake Doyle mastered these Saturday conditions and built up an insurmountable lead. They held tight on Sunday and won the regatta and the Dr. David Oursler Memorial Trophy. The home team of Jim Ryan and Andrew Parish finished fourth and won the novice trophy. Keith Donald and Jim Albert in the wooden classic Star boat 4125 finished fifth and Will Murdoch in his recently purchased 7713 finished sixth.

Thanks go to Marshall Patterson and the race committee for providing good courses and square lines and to the Miles River Yacht Club and the Mid eastern Shore Star Fleet for their hospitality.
