This last weekend the US Fireball National Championship
was held on Lake Pleasant in Phoenix, Arizona. There were 9 boats
at this regatta with sailors from 6 different
countries.
We had 5 wide bows and 4 boats racing in the 'classic'
class.
5 good races on Saturday and we were blown off the lake on
Sunday.
Our scoreboard had Debbie Kirkby and Liz Brennen in first,
Rob Thomson and Francis in second, and Rupert Holmes-Smith with
Greg Desilets in third. On the old boats, Steve Goacher and Tim
Edlund in first, Graham Schaefer and Frederick Moor in second, and
Alejandro and Caroline Bustillos in third.
