The 2012 Dixie Lakes Travel Series included 7 regattas, one at each of the 7 member clubs in the Dixie Lakes District -- Muscle Shoals hosted the 2012 Wife-Husband Regatta and therefore did not hold their annual Dixie Lakes Series regatta in 2012 -- plus the 2012 Dixie Lakes District Championships at Lake Lanier. 63 skippers entered at least one of these 7 events, while 15 skippers entered more than once. For scoring purposes, competitors are awarded one point for entering a regatta and one point for each boat they beat in the event. The skipper amassing the most points in the series is awarded the Charles and Nancy Fowler Trophy. The 2012 winner was Dixie Lakes District Governor Sandy Eustis, who triumphed rather easily. Eustis, sailing these events exclusively with his lovely wife Keith, explained his dominance by noting that he finished among the top 3 boats in 4 of the 5 events he entered, and that only one other skipper (Tim Pack), entered as many events -- thus proving that just showing up is sometimes good enough. Scores for the 15 skippers who entered multiple events in the 2012 Dixie Lakes Travel Series were as follows:
