Regatta Rewind

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 also have 420s competing in the 420 North Americans in Nova Scotia, and today and tomorrow have Optis and Lasers at the Mid-Atlantic Junior Olympics at IHYC.

You can view full results of many of the local regattas at the BBYRA website results page.
