2016 PHRF Racing - Jamestown YC
Three CHNYC boats are currently racing in the JYC Spring Series.
EC Helme's SPIRIT and Bill Kneller's VENTO SOLARE are racing in Class A:
SPIRIT and VENTO SOLARE are in a 3-way tie for 5th place. They have both posted a great 3rd place race finish in this very competitive spinnaker fleet.
Tripp Alyn's SUMMER WIND is racing in Class C (non-spinnaker).
SUMMER WIND is fourth in Class C.
We hope to add Mort Orlov to Class C soon.
Tripp, CHNYC PHRF Fleet Capt.

The Spring Season has been completed and 5 CHNYC boats raced in that series.
CONGRATULATIONS to Bill Kneller and his VENTO SOLARE crew for their smashing success in the usually hotly contested A Class. Sporting an excellent record of 2-2-3 for its scoring total, VENTO SOLARE is in the silver with a third place class spring series standing.
EC Helme's SPIRIT was in the action with very strong finishes of 3-5-5 for a 6th place out of the 13 boats registered. The water temp is up to the low 60s so it won't be long before the "Big Pink gang" will be enjoying their usual apres sail party & dip.
DUCK SOUP, SENECA and SUMMER WIND also represented CHNYC in the JYC Spring Series (sailed by Steve Lipman, Mort Orlov & Tripp Alyn respectively). There were a total of 34 boats registered in the Spring Series. We may see the total approach 50 for the Summer Series.
The Summer Series got off to an ominous start last night as the light air died off and the race was abandoned by the Jamestown YC Race Committee. After the great winds of the spring series, we'll see what the summer brings!
