Wayfarers Capture '99 Spitzer Cup!

The '99 Wayfarer North American Championships coincided with the 3rd Annual Spitzer Cup Regatta held on Lake Erie off Lorain, Ohio August 21-22. The Spitzer Cup goes to the Class with the largest number of entries, and this year, it was the Wayfarers who edged out the JAM Fleet and the Force 5's to win the Cup. Several of us are planning to enjoy the marvellous LS&YC hospitality again next year, and defend our title to the Spitzer Cup. But we'll need your help! I'll get a date for the 2000 Spitzer Cup Regatta and put it here in my next up-date.
Anyway - congratulations to all of us who made the effort to go and were richly rewarded with a lovely regatta! I think I've got decent pics (below) of all the Wayfarers who made us the Spitzer Cup winners - except young Mike Trepal (13). Sorry, Mike! Next year!!!
