M Scow Easterns Notice of Race
Date: Saturday, September 19, 2009
Location: Seaside Park Yacht Club
Bayview and Second Avenue
Seaside Park, New Jersey
Here is NOR/flyer for the upcoming M Scow Easterns to be held at Seaside Park YC on Saturday, September 19th.
Please note $10 annual Eastern M-Scow District dues will be collected that day (separate from registration fee).Checks may be payable to EMSD.
Also, if anyone would like to contribute, we will be taking voluntary contributions ($25?) to help offset the costs of a mast development program. Certain fittings are available in Australia and therefore expensive to buy & ship.
A mast committee, comprised of Tim Faranetta, John Applegate, Curt Morton and John Harkrader, will (hopefully) develop this winter several different masts sections which will be available in the spring. The thought is to rotate the masts between different boats to try and gauge reactions/comments.

ILYA M-16 Championships on Cedar Lake
Article written by Rick Trestor
Can you imagine the joy in Sawyerville with an ILYA win for the sisters? Today the highly competitive fleet came out to sail the last two races of their championship. Paul Reinicke, Maggie Walsh and Sunny Driscoll started the day with only one point separating them. The morning brought us four to six mile per hour winds from the East. This set-up the races to be sailed across the short length of the lake in the opposite direction from yesterday.
Since we were sailing two back to back races we again had a downwind finish for the first race. Our three leaders stayed pretty close to each other in the first race. Jan Gill broke away from these three to win the race. Sunny ended up second with Maggie third and Paul fourth. This maintained the lead for Sunny and Cindy Duchow.
The last race was very similar to race number five with the three leaders keeping a close eye on each other. In this race Sunny and Cindy jumped out to an early lead with Paul and Maggie further back. After leading in many of the races without winning Sunny put this race and the regatta away. Jack Zimmerschied and Fred Weber had the best races of their regattas by finishing second and third.
This was the first ILYA championship for the sister act of Sunny Driscoll and Cindy Duchow. They have been sailing together in Inland events since they were kids. Paul Reinicke and Helen Rehberger ended up second and Maggie Walsh and Terry Isabell were third. Jan Gill was the top Master and Heidi Vollmar won the top rookie.
