Final Results - Season 2009

The "Ghost Fleet" has completed the 2009 season with the Labor Day races this past Sunday. The Labor Day regatta was won by the 245 Malihini with two wins and a third for a total of 5 points. We had five boats complete the minimum of twenty races this season with four other boats also competing whenever they could. The 2009 Championship went to the 245 Malihini for the third year in a row. This ties the 3 straight championships in the early 1960's by Bucky Wheaton in the 35 boat. There was a hotly contested 2nd place between the 698 and the 35 boat and it was settled on the last day of racing, with the 698 Red Witch nosing out the 35 Nymph by three points. A couple of highlights occured during our races this weekend. The 240 Scoop pulled off his best finish of the season when he took 3rd place in the first race and the 545 Jumpin-Jack-Flash took a first in the second race with Steve Luby at the helm and his wife participating in her first race as crew.
It was another successful season here at the lake and all the sailors had a great time. We look forward to another great time in 2010.
Thanks to everyone for all their help and special thanks to Cassidy Ricci, our official starter for the season. Great job !!
