Title: 2010 North Americans Post by: Ken Smith on March 01, 2010, 10:46:12 PM We are finishing registration and most boats are set up and ready to sail tomorrow.
The DNAmerica blog continues at DNamerica. blogspot. com Title: Re: 2010 North Americans Post by: LorRehe on March 02, 2010, 04:16:19 PM No races today at the North Americans on beautiful Thunder Bay. No wind.
Off to the annual argument. Loretta Title: Re: 2010 North Americans Post by: John Davenport on March 03, 2010, 02:02:28 PM I Just got a report that they finished the Silver Qualifier and then the wind shifted 90 degrees before the 1st Gold race could start. It's a challenging wind forecast, but Friday looks to be better...

If it is any concellation Minneapolis has been under an air stagnation alert for 3 days with no wind here either. Good thing you have all the other requirements of a good regatta:
Scenery, comfortable temps, great ice, good beer and friends to enjoy it with. Title: Re: 2010 North Americans Post by: LorRehe on March 04, 2010, 07:54:00 PM 2010 IDNIYRA North American Championships - March 3 - 6, 2010

Oh, the stories we have to tell. Fair winds, Loretta Title: Re: 2010 North Americans Post by: rpotcova on March 08, 2010, 03:48:04 PM What a week!
One of the more unique sailing events I have ever attended. I feel bad for those that could not attend because they could not handle the time/milage or did not have a passport to enter the US after the regatta. There were 11 unranked sailors who entered but did not attend. Do not be discouraged - we will plan to see you next year. I also appreciate the encouragement and thanks from those that attended. I don't need to tell anyone that this was a difficult and stressful regatta to pull off and due to the distance to the venue, its understandable that some of our leadership could not make it. (You'll get another shot next year Danny!) After scouting something like 19 lakes with varying degrees of suitability, the "Snowicane" put the nail in the coffin - sort of. Thanks to: Jim McDonagh and John Harper for finding the plate and Jim and JD for sailing it. Eric Lind for taking over the PRO duties at the last minute and Loretta Rehe for her scoring. Their patience while waiting for breeze then taking charge when it finally came was nothing short of incredible! Travel partners Kent Baker, JR Francis, and "Fast" Eddy Gibson for helping with registration. Kent's wife Erica, Bob Foeller, Jody Kjoller, and Keith Wells for helping with the race packets. All the ice scouts throughout North America who checked and sailed numerous venues. Too many to list here. IDNIYRA Governing Committee who help organize the ice search and guide all of us in the right direction. All the wonderful people from the Thunder Bay Yacht Club who helped with race committee duties and fed us on the ice. Mike Derusha for the use of his Suburban for RC and scorers. Also the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority for allowing us to use their public access every day and store trailers at night. BTW thanks to everyone for cleaning up when we were done. It was spotless the day after the awards. And finally, Congratulations to Ron Sherry for winning the North American Championships. |
