Mission Bay Yacht Club Junior Sailing dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

April Sabot Showdown registered 14 Participants to Showcase a Much Improved C-fleet!
Over this past weekend, Mission Bay Yacht Club held the second part of the two-part April Sabot Showdown series which turned out to be another great success. Over the two-part regatta, MBYC had 14 racers participate in the C-Fleet event. Just last year, Mission Bay Yacht Club had at one time 4 C-fleet racers total. This year, we expect to push that number over 20! The regatta this past weekend was held directly in front of the Yacht Club for all members to see. Over the weekend, we were able to get in 3 races on Saturday and 6 races on Sunday for a total of 9 quality races for all members and kids to enjoy. In 14th place was Ian Bellin. Ian sailed only the first day and had a 9th place as his top finish. Willem Perry finished in 13th place, sailing very well in his 4th regatta of his young career. In 12th place was Jeremy McCulloch, sailing very well as the regatta went on. Aydin Newman placed 11th with a top finish of 8th place. In one race, Aydin was 2nd around the first windward mark, a huge feat for a 7 year-old. In 10th place was Alex Newman, with a top finish of 6th overall. Ryan Ratliffe placed 9th overall and was the top C3 division sailor for the weekend. Say hi to C2 Ryan. Congratulations! In 8th place was Ansgar Jordan, a newcomer to the C2 division, sailed very well with a top finish of 6th place in a race. In 7th place was Cole Baker, who was sick, but was strong and finished every race. In 6th place was James Trotter. James had a great start with a 4,4,2,4,4 and without a DNF and a 9th place could have really made a push for 5th. Soenke Jordan placed 5th overall with very consistent sailing in his new boat. In 4th place was Jameson Perry, the winner of the April Sabot Showdown part 1. Jameson struggled in the light air and had trouble off the starting line. He finished with a 3,1,1,4 to put him in the top 4 for the regatta, however. In third place was Madeline Brownsea, who sailed for the first time in over a month and dominated while losing a tooth and a mast step all in one weekend. Madeline lost a tooth during a race, and instead of sailing in, she completed every race. Congratulations to Maddi for staying out despite some unfortunate occurrences. In second place was Ryan Hopps. With two first place finishes and a very consistent weekend, Ryan placed 2nd overall in the April Sabot Showdown. Winning the second part of the April Sabot Showdown was Steven Leuck. Steven placed outside the top 3 once in 9 races and won the regatta by 5 points. Below are the final results of the April Sabot Showdown. There were a total of 19 races and 14 participants. The sailors and the total points are shown below.
