The final results of the Laser and Radial NA's are posted at http://www.lasernorthamericans.org/results.htm

Congratulations to Andrew Campbell for winning in a very tough 96 boat fleet with a remarkable string of five first place finishes in eight races. Andrew was followed by Bernie Luttmer and Andrew Childs. Jennifer Spaulding bested the 69 boat Radial fleet followed closely by Kyle Rogachenko and then Victoria Crowder.

Pictures will get posted to the NA's website http://www.lasernorthamericans.org/ but you can find some now at the Sailing Scuttlebutt website: http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/photos/05/laser-na/

The regatta had something for everyone with the winds getting stronger each day of sailing, from 5 knots on the first tday to pushing 15-18 on the final day (which, sadly, I had to miss). The sailing was tough, a very much "head out of the boat" kind of regatta and I am really amazed at how the top people in both fleets were able to keep up at the front of these very competitive fleets.

A moment to remember: Warren Miller pulling in from cruising further north just in time to see his son Kurt, back in a Laser after a 23 year absence, round the weather mark in 2nd place. Maybe, some 30 years later, we'll get another Laser movie!
