Olympic Trials Last Chance Qualifier
September 15, Day 2-Cedar Point Yacht Club, Westport, CT

OK, the wind was 15 to 18 knots with gusts of 25! Many hardy Laser competitors handled the Northerly with various degrees of difficulty.

Three races were completed after a delay due to a squall coming through.

After 2 days, the following Laser sailors would qualify for the Olympics Trials; Royce Weber, Andrew Scrivan, Jerry Tullo, Christopher Branning, Ryan Minth, Pat Curran, Mattia D'Errico and Ian Sutherland.

For the women the following sailors would qualify for the Olympic Trials; Reguli Granger, Susie Pegel, Chloe Palmer, Katie Smith, Laura Windecker, Renee Gagne, and Callie Naughton.

Good luck to all on Sunday.

Congratulations to Susie Pegel who won two races today. The only woman ever to win a Laser North American Championship. Not Laser Radial. Laser 1980. Still kicking ass even though she is THREE TIMES THE AGE of most of her competitors in this regatta. Don't feel too bad girls. When Susie won the NAs the sailor in 2nd place was some kid called Russell Coutts.

Ross Bennett placed.....ummmm.... that's strange.... I can't find his name. Guess he thinks they still haven't started yet.
