2010 Paw Paw Lake Star Regatta

 

Saturday winds were SSW, 4-9, getting lighter as the day progressed. There was light rain to drizzle which kept the majority of the ski boats and jet skiis off the lake, making good inland lake sailing. After the fourth race, the wind died. Jack Rickard was leading after the first day. Paw Paw Lake Yacht Club had a nice dinner and blues band for entertainment Saturday night. Sunday morning broke with the passage of a cool front that dried the air, the skies gradually cleared, and added strength to the breeze which started SW 8-12 and clocked to WNW 10-15 by the end of the third and final race. The team of Jack Rickard and John Corrigan were steadily more consistent than second place finishers Roger Turner and Tom Belco. Always nipping at their heels was Glenn McCarthy with his daughter, Christina McCarthy, in third overall. The racing was close with position changes on nearly every leg. The sailing on Paw Paw Lake, whose yacht club dates to 1898 and fleet dates to 1932, was enjoyed by everyone.
