Compliments of Steve Bernstein, LMSS Board Member and Opti Parent – check out the great pictures of the RWB Opti fleet from the TCYS races at Deephaven, White Bear Lake, Wayzata and Calhoun. For you Green Fleet sailors – I’ll have to lean on Steve a little to see if we can get his talent on the Green Fleet course over the next couple of regattas. These are really GREAT shots!!! Also, please remember to check out www.youthsailing.org and/or www.twincitiesyouthsailing.com for additional TCYS information and results.

Results PhotosJune 20th Friday Manitou Days Regatta Over 77 competitors participated in the 2008 Manitou Days TCYS regatta hosted by White Bear Sailing School at Ramsey Beach. Light variable winds started out the day with only the green fleet completing 3 races in the morning. After a nourishing lunch of hot dogs, the fleets were sent back out to try for a few more races. Luckily, the wind filled in enough for more racing.
In the Red White and Blue fleet there were 28 racers. Minnetonka and White Bear had a great event with their racers taking the top five spots. Addy Ferguson of Lake Minnetonka had her 1st regatta win at White Bear this year with finishes or 1, 2, 4, 2, 1. Anders Ekholm also from Lake Minnetonka, was close on her tail by one point difference, it came down to the last race and throw outs. Ian Solum, who won the week before at Minnetonka, had a great event winning one race. Cole Lee and Willy Crary from White Bear ended up 4th and 5th with Cole Lee totaling 16 points and Willy with 22 points.
The Green fleet had an eventful turnout with 21 racers. Wayzata had a strong showing taking home hardware for the 1st place and 3rd place. Griffin Joseph won the regatta with points totaling 13, luckily getting to throw out an 18 for the regatta win. Corbin Burdick of Lake Minnetonka took home 2nd with points totaling 14, and Aiden Burke from Wayzata placed third with his first race win in the green fleet.
The first time in history the White Bear Sailing School hosted the 420's at White Bear. We had a total of 10 boats, 4 from WBSS and 6 from WSS. Lucy Andrews from Wayzata swept up with 2 race wins and one 3rd. She won the regatta by one point with Austin Hensley from Wayzata placing 2nd and Erik Brust from White Bear placing 3rd. White Bear was really happy they could accommodate all the racers and hope next year we have even more 420's show up for this great event.
The Laser Racers got in 3 decent races. David Thompson of White Bear won all three races, with John Etherington from Lake Minnetonka coming in 2nd. Wheeler Morris of White Bear wasn’t far behind in third place. A total of 8 racers came out to enjoy the event. All in all, the event went well. The racers enjoyed the door prizes at the end of the event and the Ice Cream Man even showed up much to the chagrin of the parents. White Bear looks forward to hosting another event in the future and hopes to see everyone this Friday at Wayzata!!! Good JOB racers and Parents!!!!
