2011 Paw Paw Lake Open

 

Report by Gene McCarthy.Event sailed at Coloma, Michigan, USA.

You know those races where the wind goes this way and then that? It was just like that…..and this. Inland sailing at its best, with shifts, holes, gusts, and everything else that makes inland lake sailing fun.

7 races were packed into 2 days, with ˝ of the boats with woman crew and the other ˝ with men crew. Jeff Phillips commented that he thought this was the best event run at Paw Paw Lake in a long time.

A hearty breakfast each morning, with a solid lunch on board each boat Saturday kept everyone fueled up. Ample adult beverages after racing along with dinner at the club with a jazz band playing got some of the sailors up dancing.

Don Massey’s return to Paw Paw Lake after winning the Green Star back in June, brought him his second victory at Paw Paw Lake this year!
