Report by Brian Cramer: The Star Class has a fantastic group of sailors who have been to a lot of clubs to sail. Sometimes the facilities are large and grand. Other times the facilities get the job done and the local people are bigger than large and grand. Seneca Yacht Club is one of these places and since 1982 they have been putting on the fall Chile Regatta for only the Star guys in the area. And they came. This year the event attracted 18 local sailors plus roadies from Canada, Ohio, Annapolis, New York City and Vermont. The sailors including two recent college graduates, a couple of newer Star sailors, a host of the regulars and a special return of Steve Haarstick who has been absent for a couple of cycles. In a weekend weather pattern which had everyone hoping for more, the sailors collected at the starting line on Saturday and got two races off which tested the best of the fleet. Steve Haarstick and Rick Burgess had the best of the day and had Saturday night to celebrate there leading position. The race committee moved the start of Sunday races to 9 am to get more good races in before the inevitably happened. Arthur Anasov and Dave Caesar won the first with speed and smarts. The second race drifted into the finish line with Ben Sternberg and Will Christensen with the win. This was a big win for Ben and crew as the conditions were difficult at best. But the real story of the weekend was the performance of one family of Star sailors on Saturday. The saturday morning race was won by Tom White (12th District Secretary) and Josh Asermily. The second Saturday race was won by Abby and Maddi White. A clean sweep by the White family. I am sure this has never happened before. The winners were Arthur and Dave and they were using this regatta to get ready for the North American Championship next week. They are ready. Great races, great club and a wonderful weekend regatta. |
