Ten Butterfly sailors participated in the State Fair Regatta and shared the course on the north end of the lake with the Snipes. The Flying Scots and Corinthians shared a separate course on the south end.

The weather was great and the wind was pretty much as predicted, clocking from the SW to the W to the N by afternoon. That presented challenging conditions for the race committees as far as setting and deciding whether or not to change courses mid-race or between races. For the sailors, there was some pretty light air in the morning as the wind started clocking around to the north.

Paul placed first, Burton placed second, and John third. Congratulations!

Overall it was a very successful regatta and we appreciate the race committees on both courses and all the various volunteers for the rescue/chase boats, registration, food preparation. Lots of work done by lots of people. White Rock boat club had several volunteers for the second week in a row with Robert Hunt, Bruce, and Mark. Thank you everyone!
