2008 Allan R. Burtis New England Masters

 

Report by Gary MacDonald:

This annual event raced in remembrance of Allan Burtis from Long Island, was hosted August 23-24 at the Cottage Park Yacht Club on Boston Harbor. Racing consisted of 4 races in 8-14 knots of south easterly sea breeze and was attended by crews from Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts. Master Skippers must be 50 years old to compete and this year the skippers age spread reached over 43 years(figure out the age of the oldest competitor…. all you hurting young Masters world-wide).

Chet Proctor of North Sails with Kip Gardner crewing, dominated all but one race in his convincing victory. Gary MacDonald with Jim Pickering tied Bill Watson and Roger Sharp for 2nd with the tie breaker going to Gary and Jim for their win in race two.

Peter Costa with Serg Lenindov captured the Grand Masters category while longtime Star Sailor and International Star Class Secretary John Chirella with Bob Carlson, won the Exalted Grand Masters category. The largest applause at the awards ceremony came for the Venerated and Exalted Grand Master category. In a special presentation, “Star Legend” Joe Duplin, awarded this category to a four decade Star Sailor from Connecticut, who has delivered over 6000 babies between races; Dr Emil Karlovsky with crew Chris Rogers. Emil serves as an inspiration to sailors around the globe as he continues to race one of the oldest and most demanding one designs sailboats in the World. Emil was just a toddler when the Star Class began the formation of its initial fleets and introduced interfleet racing. Congratulations to Dr Emil and all the winners.
