Laser Masters Atlantic Coast Championship

  • Saturday, September 11th, 1999 - Sunday, September 12th, 1999
  • Fishing Bay YC
  • Deltaville, VA

Results from the regatta held at Deltaville, Virginia this past weekend follow this brief report. We were blessed with some 5-8 knots on Saturday courtesy of a front which passed through too early Saturday morning bringing 15 knots well before dawn. This was a welcome change from the
three prior days which were airless and humid to boot. Sunday's air was lighter and later so only one race was sailed that day, but it did allow a discard.

At the end one point separated each of the first four finishers, and Joe Van Rossem the 1997 winner sailing in a borrowed boat in the interests of fuel efficiency in his drive from Ontario, ended up as overall winner. Another Ontario visitor, Heinz Gebauer World's Great Grand Master Champion in 1997, arrived with two "neighbors" pulling a three boat trailer, and perhaps predictably was first Great Grand Master. First Apprentice was Mike Schmidt, our District 11 Secretary and last years winner who told me at the end of the awards ceremony that it took three firsts and a sixth place finish to get him that high. This years Masters winner, one more point behind, was Alden Shattuck an all too-infrequent participant in this regatta. Hopefully we'll get him back next year and if Mike Schmidt can work on his consistency he could help keep the Canadians out of first place.

The 48 entries was a record for this event and could easily have reached the 50 level if two ladies who are ILCA members hadn't been so taxed helping with clubhouse activities that they chose to day sail close to the clubhouse. Regardless we had some welcome additions to our entry list including Charles Williamson from upper New York State, Russell Brown from the Florida Panhandle as well as repeat attenders from Florida and Texas all of whom felt the drive was worth the effort. We look forward to having all the attendees back for our regatta next year regardless of
whether it is called the Atlantic Coast Masters or the Chesapeake Bay Masters.
