MOORE 24 NORTHWEST FLEET

Andy and company put on a stellar regatta up in Anacortes. Winds where mid #1 but the weather was outstanding and the $1 beers, $2 wells, bbq’ed dinner, Karoke, Skits and amazing hospitality at the Anacortes Yacht Club (one particular sailor not withstanding) made for a perfect weekend, one we look forward to doing again next year. 4 Moore’s made the event, #132, #43, #38, #26. At the end More Uff Da took 1^st, Sputnik took 2^nd (showing amazing bursts of speed and pointing ability), Lowly Worm took 3^rd, and Amore took 4^th.

Monday Nights, Second Series

Our Second Series has shown Dwindleing numbers but some great weather (the evening Thermals are finally here!). We’ve lost one boat due to collision and one de-rigged on the Ditch Run, other’s seem to have conflicts so we only got 2 out on the last race. Hopefully other’s will show up soon or we’ll be back to racing PHRF!

NOOD 2008

After 3 day’s of tight racing for the Northwest Fleet Championships, getting in 11 races around the buoys, the fleet stayed real close together on the course and on the score board. Conditions ranged from a good 10 knots Friday with temps in the 80’s to lighter stuff Saturday and Sunday. The Moore 24 NW Fleet Perpetual Trophy went to #124 ‘More Cowbell’ who took the honor after a throw out with 16 points. In Second was #26 ‘More Uff Da’ with 18 points after the throw out, and in third was #38 ‘Lowly Worm’ with 21 points after the throw out. Tight racing and good weather made for a fun event. Where will the fleet champs be next year?

Monday Night Racing

The First series of Monday night racing has come to an end after some very interesting conditions. We saw everything from 30 knots to 0 depending on which night you where out. One boat was even hit by a 40’er on one of the windy day’s, the Moore was on Starboard, but the damage is done anyway’s. Thank you to the few boats that made an effort to come out, only #60 and #26 did all the races. Overall for the 5 race series went to #26, second went to #60, and 3^rd to #132.

Weekend Racing

#124 ‘More Cowbell’ and #26 ‘More Uff Da’ headed south to the Cruz Regatta in Santa Cruz California for some spectacular racing. Saturday had shifty winds ranging from 8 to 22 knots, one boat recorded 14.5 knots boat speed on Saturday. Sunday the wind came on to blow, I’ve never gone faster, well I say that every time, but it was fun. 8 boats dropped out of the last race but we both made it through. #26 ended up 7^th and #124 ended up 14^th.
