2011 Commodore's Cup Regatta
 

Despite the threatening weather, race officials (John Miller and Ian Oldridge) were able to sneak in the regatta before subtropical storm Lee unleashed it's rains.  Seven boats representing five different classes (Lightning, Laser, Snipe, Sunfish, SunCat) of sailboats participated in two Portsmouth handicapped scored races.  Winning the regatta by collecting two first place finishes, was Rich Miner with crew Gail Miner and Ken Potts sailing the Miner's Lightning Hawkeye.  After a total corrected time tie-breaking rule was applied, Snipe sailor John Marx held onto 2nd place overall, with Hank Jelinek  finishing in a close 3rd.  Other participating skippers included: Michael Mackey(Laser) 4th, Constance Gill(Snipe) 5th, Christopher Mackey(Sunfish) 6th,  and Marc Marussich(SunCat) 7th. 

 

Following the racing, Rich and Gail Miner hosted the Commodore's Cup Party at their lakefront home.  The good weather held up, and a large crowd filled the deck at the Miner's swapping sailing stories into the night.  As usual, lots of good food appeared, including Constance Gill's beautifully presented salmon dish, Elke Braendle's fast-disappearing pulled pork sandwiches, and the Gomez family's gourmet salads.  The younger set got busy decorating party favors to hand out.  And amazingly, John Miller had the foresight to choose hurricane lanterns as the sailing trophies - how did he know?

This 19' sloop-rigged sailboat is celebrating the 70th anniversary of its design.  It has been sailed at the LMYC for all 70 years!  With a crew of 3, this boat is the largest in our club fleets.
 
 
 

This light, fast, 2 person crewed sailboat is a popular boat in the club. The LMYC owns four club Snipes that are available to experienced sailors if they do not currently own a boat.

If you believe you may have the quality of boat we are looking for please contact the club secretary at lmycadmin@gmail.com to arrange for an inspection.  For safety reasons our standards are quite stringent but rest assured any Sunfish donated to the club will be well used by the youngsters from the LMCC community!
