Fleet 21 Brooklyn, New York
Sheepshead Bay, 1964
Fleet Captain: Richard Lubell

Fleet 21 at Miramar Yacht Club in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn conducted a full
racing season from late May through October.

Eight Ensigns competed in a series of regattas. Andrew Shabalin skippering
Uforia maintained a consistent lead throughout the summer Wednesday evening
series, regaining his champions title that had slipped away the last summer to JP
Reardon in Uno. But, this year Uno did not compete. Splash skippered by me
nd
(Rich Lubell) competed closely for 2 with LuckyUs skippered by perennial
champion Barbara Banchik. A new competitor in 2021, Debbie Does Brooklyn,
with Ben Stern and his wife Karen took a leave of absence this year, and Karen
gave birth to a new baby boy. We are looking forward to their returning to the
club with their new family member this upcoming season. Another new arrival to
the club was Ensign #841 renamed Carneirinho, skippered by Tom Tolleson and
his wife Krissy. They entered the fray and raced valiantly all season.

After racing, we were feted as usual by our co-chairs on the entertainment
committee, Leon Paley and Ben Leo, who competed together in the Ensign
Celest, and then prepared and dished up food and drink when back on shore.

The Saturday Trophy races saw Splash and Uforia trading champion trophies. In
the Fall Series, Splash won the final duals of the season.

Miramar, under the leadership of its thoughtful Commodore, David Shin,
purchased a second club Ensign#1721 which has resulted in more access for
skippering for those in our club who presently are non-boat owners.

Here is a list of winners and runner ups through the 2022 season:
