49th BUCKEYE REGATTA 2017 - HOOVERS SAILING CLUB

Ten intrepid sailors and crew made it to Westerville, Ohio for the 49^th Buckeye Regatta held as Hoover Sailing Club.  Number 11, Frank and Marianne Gerry, were sidelined by an errant motorist in Indianapolis to the detriment of their boat and car but fortunately no human injuries.  The good news is there was wind; the not so good news is that it was out of the East on Saturday and shifty. Made spinnaker flying a challenge. By Saturday the wind shifted to its natural position out of the Southwest, the race committee set a great course and we were off.  Being intrepid we did not let a little rain stop us!

Full results are here but Bruce and Lynn Kitchen took home the first place treasure ( again) followed by Hoover sailors Ray, Scot and Kathy Trask in second and Bill and Lauren Bruss in third. At least we kept some of the treasure at home!  We should also note that everyone stayed in their boats and upright – seemingly quite an accomplishment for the Kitchens.
