Alexanderson Cup - 2007

Sep 15, 2007      Wind Conditions: Heavy

Rick Alexanderson - RC. 34th Annual Event hosted 11 boats at registration at the Lake George Club. With the absense of a committe boat driver Rik stepped in and set a twice-around I-course up to Cotton Point and down to Canoe Island. Sam took over helm duties for Rik to keep Brass Ring in the race. Once on station he postponed quickly when the wind went from 5 to 15 with gusts to 20 and white caps across the lake. The J/24's switched down to jibs while others just held on during the 8 minute delay. The Viper flipped once before the start and twice more after before retiring. Both Jako and Ivory Blue were given REDRESS with a 5 minute reduction in their elasped time for assisting Dougall and Snowdon. It was quite the challenge with tight spinnaker reaches and upwind round-ups for some, but an incredible close finish between Joy and Spirit. The last time I saw Kokopelli, the trimaran, James Looby was shaking out a reef in his main after the start! I figured he was out of it but sailing solo he came back and beat the fleet by 10 minutes!
