The Latest...

Sign up for the Commodore's Celebration.

Sign up for the Tempe Town Lake Heat Stroke Series, that begins June 1.

Mike Hester and crew John Mayall repeated as AYC Club Champions Saturday at Lake Pleasant. Mike was ahead by seven points after 8 races and, in a gesture of sportsmanship, second place finisher Skip Kempff (seven-time club champ) chose to concede and let everyone head home.

John Mayall & Mike Hester concentrate.

Even though in the Championship Race there's only one prize—first—here are the other finishers: Rick Johnson, third; Jim Douglas, fourth; Dennis Martinelli/Pat Blumm, fifth; Steve Brown, sixth; Stacey Loula, seventh; Will Zornick, 8th; and Joe Motil, 9th.

Fleet Captain David Rawstrom was the PRO and organizer for the event and C22 fleet captain Steve Brown turned out 9 C22s for the day of racing that began with rigging and skipper's meeting at 8 am and ended after 7 pm as the C22 owners finished getting their boats ready to tow back home.

A scrum of C22s downwind.

Excellent photos taken by Chris Smith are available here. Works best if you view as a slide show.

Many thanks to the C22 fleet, to the large RC, and to the competitors for a great day on the water. Next: turn out next Saturday to see Mike get the big silver punch bowl at the Commodore's Celebration. Have you signed up yet?

What would you think of a major change in the layout of the Lake Pleasant race course beginning in the fall? Rick Johnson describes the proposal here.

Do you know that if you're an AYC member you can "adopt" a boat for TTL Sunday? Read about it here.
