Jahncke Series

 

The first day of racing was cancelled due to winds to 35 knots. On the 2nd day, three races were run. Race 1 was a Gold Cup course sailed in 4 to 15 knots at 250 degrees. Race 2 was a windward-leeward twice around in 10-15 knots, puffy at 270 degrees. Race 3 was an Olympic triangle in 10-15 knots puffy at 270 degrees. It paid to go left.

New Orleanian Andy Lovell proved that familiarity with Lake Pontchartrain pays off, finishing first in all three races of the Jahncke Cup on Wednesday at the Southern Yacht Club.

Lovell and crew member Magnus Liljedahl, finished eight points ahead of their closest competitors to win the Star Spring Jahncke Series Cup.

"We sailed very well today, and hopefully we can carry this over to tomorrow in the Spring Championships," Lovell said. "Knowing this lake definitely provides us an advantage, and it helped us a lot when the winds changed throughout the day. Everything seemed to be working out for us today."

Liljedahl was a long-time crew partner in the Star Class with three-time Olympic medalist Mark Reynolds (gold 1992, 2000 and silver in 1988), who finished second in the first two races with crew member Will Stout before having to withdraw from the third race due to a mast problem -- causing a seventh-place finish.

"I familiarized myself more with the lake today," said Reynolds, who won the Spring Championships the last two times it was held in New Orleans in 1991 and 1997. "I didn't realize I had won the last two times, but I've sailed here about a half a dozen times in my career and three times in college.

"We ran into a minor problem today. We decided to not participate in the third race, so we wouldn't turn it into a major problem."

John MacCausland, along with crew member Brad Nichol, finished second with 12 points. MacCausland won the Jahncke Cup in 1997 and is coming off a first-place finish in one of the biggest races, the Bacardi Cup, a six-day race in Miami.
