  • MIYC Fall Regatta 2015

    Our Annual Fall Regatta that was held on Saturday, November 14 was a great success! This traditional event was initiated with another tradition: an at-sea memorial to those friends and loved-ones who have passed-away over the past year. Following a short prayer by Past Commodore Frank Rinker, a rose was placed in the Gulf of Mexico from the Committee Boat as each name was read. An additional rose was placed in the Gulf to memorialize those killed the night before in the attacks in Paris.

    Another light air regatta. We were again racing Beneteau. We had a real good competition come down from Cape Coral and we had an exciting time racing against Vixen! We swapped victories back-and-forth but in the end we had to settle for second place for the regatta. Photos: 4/25-26 NSYC 3-5B Messmer Cup Naples

    We took the Swan out to race. It was not good, complete drifting conditions. We were racing against the little arrow on 27 who was only 5000 pounds against our 62,000 pounds so as you can imagine he accelerated away in the light-year. This was our dark moment for the season. We ended up second and never once got a first during the event.  Photos: 4/11-12 SAMI 3-5B Bud Light Regatta Marco Island

    GCSC spring regatta in line this was a very fun event. We raced the Beneteau having decided that we would go for a boat of the year on her. It was a four race event. With three of the races being decided by less than 30 seconds we were beaded one of the races by the Cabo RICO 42 H2O. In the end we got three first and a second to clinch the victory.

    This was a race from the pier in Naples down to doctors pass which is north about 7 miles. As it was on a vent put out by our club we entered both of the boats. It started as a light air beat and turned into a drifting finish. It was good but in the end we couldn’t overcome the light. We finished second and third.

    The race is a long 160 miles down the Florida keys. We started going downwind and gradually turned to a reach and finally a 7 mile beat to the finish. We raced neck and neck with Senara and the two of us shared the same rating. As the wind strength increased or decreased so did our performance with Senara. After five lead swaps she beat us in to the finish by 90 seconds. Photos: 2015-01-14-Key-West

    It was a new year so we decided to bring out the Beneteau 47 Dragonfly and race her. In the spirit of sailing is fun, we had a five and seven-year-old on board and it was a joy to see them running around the boat. This one was another light air race and we won it, which the kids thought was great! Photos: 1/03 GCSC 2-3B New Year’s Cup Naples

    For the last race of the year we did a long coastal race. We started with the Swan in a light air sail down the coast. We jibed in and out always looking for more wind. We turned the mark in front of Marco Island and made big gains on the windward leg back to the finish. Winning by over 30 minutes. Photos: 12/13 NYC 1D Naples Offshore Naples-Boca Grande-Naples

    Anytime you have a boat that weighs 30 tons you’re worried about your performance in light air. It was a light air regatta and she ended out doing very well.  We yet again managed to sneak by and get five firsts winning the day. Photos: 10/25 NSYC 3-5B Commodore’s Cup Naples
