The 2012 4th District Blue Star was hosted by the Western Lake Michigan Star Fleet in Racine, Wisconsin. The race management team of Jeff and Marianne Maier came over from Gull Lake, Michigan and accomplished running 8 races over this three day event. Three races were sailed on Friday with a light NW wind that shifted towards the NNE and built to 12kts. Tom Londrigan/Steve Cutting won Race 1. Matt Pederson/Sam Eadie won Race 2. The Londrigan/Cutting team then went on to win Race 3. Friday night was a cocktail party hosted by Rick and Laurie Hennig. Laurie did a great job hosting us star sailors along with help from Sue Fox and Deanna Pederson. Thank you Laurie, Sue and Deanna! The weather outlook for Saturday was for light winds but a nice lake breeze developed from the SE and built to 10-12knts. Londrigan/Cutting earned their third first in Race 4. Pederson/Eadie edged out Don Massey/Chris Wurtz in Race 5 for their second win. Tony Herrmann/Eric Herrmann won Race 6 with their advanced local sailing knowledge. Saturday night was a dinner at the Racine Yacht Club. The fleet acknowledged Rick Burgess recently being awarded the Harry Nye Trophy. This then led to Gene McCarthy, Glenn McCarthy, and Tony Herrmann all telling great stories about Harry Nye. Two more races were sailed on Sunday. The wind was light, 4-7 out of the N-NNE. Greg Smith/TC Belco won Race 7. Londrigan/Cutting scored a fourth and locked up winning the 2012 4th District Blue Star. The Herrmann/Herrmann team closed out the regatta by winning Race 8. Congratulations Tom and Steve on winning Tom's seventh 4th District Blue Star! Special thanks to Jeff and Marianne Maier organizing the races for this regatta. Also thank you to Bob and Cathy Sample who organized Racine Yacht Club's part of the Race Committee. Thank you to all of the WLM Star fleet who helped make this a great event.
