Governor’s Cup 2024

Here are results for today’s Governor’s Cup racing.

We managed to get in 2 races before lunch today in a light to moderate breeze from the East.  More wind was forecast for the afternoon, but instead the wind died during lunch.   The weather outlook wasn’t looking too favorable after lunch either, with some lightning flashes showing to the South and the radar showing storms moving in from the West.  Getting the boats put away before the rains came seemed like the correct move, so racing for the afternoon was cancelled.

Corey Fritz dominated in the first race with his Montgomery 10 (“Mighty Mouse”?), with the next best boat over 2 minutes back on corrected time.  Dennis managed to eak out a close win in the second race, with Robert Kreczner in his Flying Scot and Tom Zalac in a Laser finishing close behind.

Here are the final standings and race details.  This is low point scoring, where the lowest sum of places wins, so Dennis finished first overall with a total of 3 points.  There was a tie for second between Robert and Cody where both had 5 total points.  To break the tie we line up the scores left to right and lowest to highest and start comparing.  Cody’s first place finish in the first race beats Robert’s second place finish in the second race, putting Cody in second place and Robert in third.

Congratulations to the trophy winners and to everyone who came out to race today.  Also thank you to Mike Koss and Chuck Jagodinski for handing race committee duties once again.
