finished first with 43.75 points in his best 10 races of the summer. Gabe Stern
finished second with 42 points and Roy Adamson was third with 37 points.

Complicating things further was the fact that stalwarts Teamwork and Swoose
didn’t complete enough races to qualify for the season unless points are added
for a DNS. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t publish anything if I didn’t think that in the
end, when done and dusted, the results listed above will hold up.
Congratulations Jim!

The Spring series known as the Chili Bowl was easily won by Eric Jones in
Teamwork. In the Fall, the Chowder series was also won by Teamwork with
Swoose finishing second.

Thames Yacht Club hosts two invitational regattas, The Cal Brouwer Memorial in
June and the Commodore’s Trophy Race in September. This year the Cal
Brouwer was won in a dying breeze by Mike Macina in Firebird – 301 from fleet
34. Firebird was the only Ensign to finish before the time limit expired.

The September Commodore’s Trophy Race with a bit more wind was also won
by a Fleet 34 boat. This time it was Robin Durrschmidt in Magic – 363. Eric
Jones finished second and was able to keep some of the silver at TYC.

After two years of COVID, sailing was mostly back to normal until several boats
contracted COVID at this year’s National Championship Regatta. The cases
were all mild with symptoms nearly non-existent. Hopefully this is now finally
behind us and we can all sail happily sail into a red sunset.
