Coconut Grove Cayard Sailing Reports
Two races were held on day one in 8-10 knots from the east on Biscayne Bay. This weekend is the “Masters” regatta in the Star Class. Obviously, the name is indicative of a certain amount of life experience required to race in the “Masters”. The Masters has become the Zag Masters in honor of Frank Zagarino, one of the class stalwarts and a Bicayne Bay Fleet member.
My son Danny joined me for this event and we got off to a great start winning race one by a healthy margin. Unfortunately I went the wrong way on the first leg of race two and we were deep coming into mark one. We made a couples of nice choices, always with good speed, so we moved up to seventh by the finish.
Arthur Anosov and Dave “Julius” Ceasar had a better day than Danny and I with a 3, 2 and are leading after day one with five points. Dan and I are second, two points back with Seiggert/Fatih in third two points behind us.
One race is scheduled for tomorrow and the forecast is calling for big breeze from the northwest following a cold front coming through the area tonight.
Day two
No racing today. Too much wind.
Arthur and Dave won the Zag Masters. Danny and I are second, Swigert/Fatih third. Danny and I won the Father-Son Team. That’s special!
The next Star event in the Winter Series is the Schoonmaker Troohy in two weeks.
