2010 Lippincott Memorial
The 2010 Lippincott Regatta ended up with better wind
conditions than most people were probably expecting a day or so before the
event. The fleet was comprised of many long time Star loyalists such as John
Vanderhoff, Bert Collins, Elliot Oldak and Mr. Faithful Sam Hopkins. It was
great to have long time Star sailor Steve kling back out in addition to new
comers Laura Beigel (kind of new comer, family legacy goes back to hull number
188) and Tom Doran. Special thanks goes to Rob Emmet for coming out and
supporting his club especially since he lost his main halyard before race one
and was forced to sail back in.
Saturday conditions where sunny, wind speeds from 4-10
knots from the South to SW direction. Day one saw many lead changes and three
races were completed. Johnny Mac/Kevin Murphy sat at the top of the scoreboard
with Peter McChesney/Shane Zwingelberg in second by 2 points followed by Ben
Fransen/Jim Pickering in third. Saturday night Annapolis Yacht Club provided a
tasty sit down dinner. On Sunday, we sailed out to the race course in a light
easterly. The prediction had gotten better over night with a NE wind to fill in
during the morning. The race committee was patient and the weather people were
correct, the wind filled in nicely. Race one started off in about 8-10 knots
from the NE. Peter McChesney rounded the first mark in the lead with the fleet
close and bunched up nicely. McChesney held on for the win with Johnny Mac in
5th now giving McChesney a 2 point lead going into the last race. For race 5
Johnny jumped into the lead pretty much from the start. McChesney was able to
hold on to 2nd giving him a 1 point win over Johnny Mac.
Thank you Annapolis
Yacht Club for hosting and running a very nice event. Thank you race committee
for the two days of racing.
