2016 Egyptian Cup Regatta at Carlyle Sailing Association, IL
Story by Linda Vitt, pictures byJeannette Beier and Rachel Bowling. Full results are here. Things heated up this weekend at Carlyle Sailing Association with the Egyptian Cup Regatta. It was no surprise that the parking lot seemed to melt under your feet and the downwind runs reminded you of a rotisserie oven. The only relief was a wonderful cooling tent set up on the asphalt desert by our wonderful Fleet 83 Captain Bronson Bowling and the welcome AC in the Observation/Club house building which gave us each a break from the heat. The winds were variable in the 5-8 range and… Read more

They won the Monmouth Boat Club Flying Scot Full Moon Regatta in 2011 and both skipper and crew sail multiple one-design boats.

Many of the fleet of competitors made trips to the dock for repairs of booms,… Read more

2016 Wife Husband Championships at Fishing Bay – All Done!
Saturday night was a wonderful chicken dinner prepared by the Commodore and crew. Lots of stories were traded and lots of fun! We followed that up with a raffle that masqueraded as a baby shower for the Flying Scot Royalty, Carrie and Tyler Andrews! What a difference a day makes! We went from 5-6 MPH to 15-17 MPH winds between yesterday and today. The good news is that we raced right outside the club so we did not have far to go either to or from the race course. We had 3 W-L 5 races and every team was… Read more
