2008 Star Fall Windup

Light easterlies and a sunny fall day greeted sixteen Starboat sailors for the beginning of the Fall Windup sailed on the Choptank River. John MacCausland and Kevin Murphy finished first. The second race began with a light easterly, but about half way up the second beat this breeze quit and a southerly filled in to about eight knots. Sailors on the right side of the course were the last to get the breeze. Jud Smith and Brian Fatih won this race by a substantial margin.

Sunday brought a fresher breeze out of the northwest. Race 3 was started in about a 10 – 12 knot breeze. This breeze, together with a fairly short course, made for some tight racing and close finishes. Jud Smith and Brian Fatih, from the Cape Ann Fleet of the 1st District, finished first in both races and won (convincingly) the overall series. Second and Third places went to Kirk Reynolds and Tom White and Rick Burgess and Arthur Anasov, respectively. Both of these boats hail from the Senaca Lake Fleet of the 12th District.

The awards ceremony was held at the Tred Avon Yacht Club, but before awards were presented a “moment of silence” was observed in honor of longtime Star sailor and friend “Trapper” Lippincott who recently passed on.

In addition to awards for series 1 – 3, Andrew Parrish and Rick Hoff received the Novice Trophy as well as the Classic Boat Award. The Fall Windup was also the final regatta for the Tri-District Series (Districts 1, 2 and 12). John MacCausland of the 2nd District took 1st place and the perpetual for this series. Tomas Hornos and Luis Hornos of the 1st District were second.

Thank you Tred Avon Yacht Club hosts and race committee for providing this Star Class event.
