Small One-Designs off to a Great Start this Early Summer
The early summer sailing season has kicked off with impressive results for UK Chicago sails in various small one-design events. From dominating the first Women’s MC National Championship to excelling in the COLORS Regatta, UK Chicago customers consistently lead the fleets, showcasing superior speed and racing skills. Here are some highlights:
Woman’s MC National Championship Regatta
The first-ever Women’s MC National Championship Regatta took place at Lake Beulah from June 7-9. Although high winds led to a Friday clinic by John Porter being held as an indoor chalk-talk, the racing continued in shifty conditions on Saturday and big puffy breezes on Sunday. UK Chicago customers excelled, with Andrea Jarecki taking first, Christine McNeill second, and Vicki Clayton third.
MC Scow Wisconsin State Championship
UK customer Chris Kubicek dominated the MC Scow Wisconsin State Champs at Pewaukee Yacht Club on June 22-23, winning three of the four races. His remarkable speed and ability to read the shifts kept him consistently in the lead pack.
Flying Scot Egyptian Cup Regatta
The husband-and-wife team of Toby and Dan Moriarty achieved a commendable second place at the Flying Scot Egyptian Cup Regatta. Their excellent speed allowed them to recover even when their starts were not optimal.
Pewaukee Yacht Club E Scow Fleet
Team SILK E, skippered by Jonathon Bailey and Cole Schweda, has been dominating the competitive 26-boat E Scow fleet at Pewaukee Yacht Club. They took an early commanding lead by winning four of the first seven races and securing additional high finishes.
