Bill Simmons and crew accepting Columbus Day Regatta 1st Place
Howard Howard/Bill Simmons of Allegro and Rick Beck of Iroquois posted
excellent results in 2007. We had 20+ races this season, with 7 participants. All
seven boats won at least one race, most boats with >3, making for spirited
competition. We are striving to have 10 boats on the line for Larchmont Race
Week 2008!

For major Regattas, the results were:
  • Larchmont Race Week: 1st place: Howard Howard/Bill Simmons; 2nd place: Rick
    Beck; 3rd place: Sean Park
  • YRALIS Championship: 1st place: Sean Park; 2nd place: Rick Beck; 3rd place:
    George/Eric Hanson
  • Columbus Day: 1st place: Howard Howard/Bill Simmons; 2nd place: Sean Park; 3rd
    place: George/Eric Hanson

End of season results to be posted asap.

News  -  We have a new member in the WLIS S-Class. Mumtaz has a new
caretaker and the boat is being re-canvased in Newport. She will be sailed down
to WLIS in the Spring and raced.

Additionally, we have a new mast. Kandahar II lost hers in brisk winds and has
found a replacement. Everyone looks forward to seeing Bob Mehlich back on the
starting line (although nearly everyone will likely drop a place...yes, he is that good).

There is an S-boat in the fleet that is for sale. Tern, the last S-boat ever built
(1941), is a proven winner. See the "Boats Available" section of our web site for
pictures and further details.

Additionally, there are 2 aluminum masts for sale. In good shape and the owner is
willing to part with them for extremely reasonable prices. Please contact us by
email if you are interested at spark@herreshoff-s-wlis.org.
