(Gail Turluck photo) (170928) Two weeks ago it was at Tawas and the US Nationals where Uncle Al and Frank Goulay came back from a seemingly hopeless deficit to win races 4 and 5 and create a three-way tie at the top before completing the Cinderella story with one more win in the final show-down race. Then, in last week's Pumpkin Regatta at London's Fanshawe YC, things again came down to the final race, winner take all, Al and crew, Dave McCreedy, hoping to pass Leo and Joanne Van Kampen. As had happened in the previous four races, Al fell far behind early only to make an improbable recovery to win that race and the series. Al and Dave sailed extremely well but horseshoes were a significant factor - as indeed they were during Al's early demises as well. Complete report here. Coverage now completed. Storer
Trophy season
winding down
(171010)
Only four Wayfarers in
light airs at the VISA
Regatta (Virginia
Inland SA) October
7-8. One change to the
top ten: Phil and
Cathy Leonard picked
up three points for
their 2nd-place finish
behind AnnMarie
Covington, and moved
past the Van Kampens,
Leo and Joanne, into
10th place. The four
points AnnMarie scored
for her win were no
better than any of the
six finishes she was
already counting so
she remains tied for
6th with Richard
Johnson. Only two
events remain on our
2017 schedule, the HOT
and the Old Brown Dog
regattas at the end of
the month. More
here.

Australia, Regatta Chair, Dave Hansman, confirmed that he has no
plans to

million Whiffle

many glorious
memories
that they and
their events
have given us.
