Star Class Honoring the Past, Leading the Future
GULL LAKE, MICHIGAN – The Vintage Gold Cup and ISCYRA canceled the three scheduled races for day two of the Vintage Gold Cup. Slight breeze was visible on the lake in the morning, with little to no pressure. As the clouds burned off, the sun came and took away the little breeze that was left on the lake.
The results are still as follows; Brazilians Lars Grael and Mauricio Bueno in first with a 5-1-1 performance on day 1. In second place is local skipper Josh Powell and his crew Luke Lawrence of Stuart, FL with finishes of 1-8-3. In third is the Illinois team of Joe Londrigan and John Wysockey who finished 2-10-8.

Throughout the rest of the afternoon, sailors will be found golfing or playing pickle ball at Gull Lake Country Club, while some stay on the dock to sail remote controlled sailboats with their fellow competitors. This evening the Vintage Gold Cup will hold a “Meet the Boats” event to show the Gull Lake community the beauty these wooden Star boats have.
Three more races are scheduled for tomorrow. The wind forecast, if correct, will remain light but sailors will remain hopeful to get at least one more race in.

Sailors knew going out that the lake was going to be tricky due to the light winds and its easterly direction. The race committee was able to manage the shifty winds quite well, getting high praise from the sailors.
Three more races are scheduled for tomorrow. The wind forecast, if correct, will make sailing even more challenging as the velocity declines from today.
