The past week was the busiest, and hottest, of the summer, and BHYC junior sailors represented the club extremely well. Monday our 420s placed 2nd and Lasers 3rd in the LYC Team Race regatta, and Tuesday our Opti sailors dominated a very good field of 132 boats in the LYC Opti Regatta, placing 6 in the top 10, including the winner Alex Fasolo. Then we traveled Wednesday to MYC for the Opti Interclub, won by our own white fleeter Fritz Sellig and placing three in the top 10.
Besides our top finishers, we had a ton of sailors improving and having great regattas. While we could go on all day, some notables were Logan Houpt finishing 32nd out of 138 at LYC, his best regatta ever and having a great time. Congratulations also go out to our Intermediate sailors, who sailed on the big course for the first time at a travel regatta at the MYC Interclub!
Thursday our A Optis competed at MCYC for the Mid-Atlantic regional championship qualifier (known as Midgets), and while we didn't qualify we got to compete and practice against some great competition. Friday we sent six sailors to represent BHYC at the Barclay Cup Team Race regatta, one of the older trophies on the bay. Out of 12 teams both BHYC teams qualified for Gold. Our team of Alex Fasolo, Sarah Burn, and Sam Gavula earned 2nd place overall, and the team of Robbie O'Brien, Eloise Burn, and Caitlin Welch finished 5th overall.
Taylor Gavula and Julianna Rustum at 420 NAs. they're in 14th after 3 days. |
We've got some great new 420 shots from the past few weeks, including a few snaps sent from North Americans up in Nova Scotia in the Canadian Maritimes. If you have any photos you'd like to see on the blog or Flickr Photo site, email them to us at bhycjrsailing@gmail.com.
Congrats to everyone who came out and sailed this past weekend, especially our winners!! Looking forward to the August Filial on Labor Day Weekend...
Congratulations to Robbie O'Brien on winning todday's point races! George Sellig, wearing his crash ehlet and earning two bullets, came in second ahead of his brother Fritz on a tie break. Great racing everyone!

Hello Opti families,
Today we were able to get off three point races in good southerly breeze all the while dodging cells of weather marching north and east. That same weather kept us postponed in the afternoon and eventually led to abandoning further races, but the three morning races got us off to a good start for the summer!
