Mids East Laser Champs

The team arrived Saturday,(Luke Ramsey),Sunday (Ricardo , Natalia and Becky) and Tuesday night (Kyle and Alex) after missing their conection.

The training was excellent prior to the event and was great preparation going into the first day.

Thursday was the first day of racing and after some delays racing was off in moderate breeze. 2 races were eventually completed and then in to the beach.

We continues thru the next 3 days and with excellent breeze on the friday a full complement of races were held (10).

In the end the racing was very close with every type of sailing encountered.

Luke Ramsey had a good event and ended in 5th , also claiming a worlds spot in Halifax this August.

Ricardo Montemeyer also sailed well and was 18th with Alex another youth aged sailer 19th (Alex if off to the youth Worlds in uly in Brazil).

Keamia had a tough event with Airline troubles and broken mast issues , so ended 9th in the Radial silver fleet.

Becky and Natalia both had good moments and learned lots in the Radial fleet.

The third and final event in Florida was a well run regatta and we'll be back next year.

Thanks for the support
Al
