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.
