The Arms-White Regatta dates back to 1937 and is one of the premiere regattas on the East coast. The event usually attracts boats from many fleets from the Northeast. This year was no exception with boats from ten different fleets. The format for this year’s regatta was different from the past. Instead of the traditional three race / no throw out format one more race was added to allow a throw out. We sailed three races on Saturday and one on Sunday. The weather was spectacular for both days with very challenging winds. Racing was close throughout the fleet with many of the top places decided by less than a boat length. In one race the top three boats were over lapped in the space of less than two boat lengths. The conditions made for very exciting racing with the race committee doing an excellent job on providing great racecourses in very difficult conditions. By the end of the two days of racing John MacCausland with Brian Fatih emerged the winners. Close second was Brian & Kevin Murphy and in a tie breaker Ben Cesare and Serge Leonidov edged out Pete Cusick and Patrick Bodden for third place. A very special person to the Mid-Connecticut Star Fleet, Dian Brown, celebrated her eightieth birthday. Many of the sailors were invited to her party on Friday night. A good time was had by all. Her husband Marshall Brown was a life long member of the Mid-Connecticut Star Fleet. We all have a soft spot in our heart for both of them. This Is why I think that the Star class is so special: you are able to make friends that last a lifetime. |
