13th Annual Y-Knot Cup Regatta
Saturday & Sunday, September 8-9, 2012
Connecticut sailor and long-time regatta competitor Donna DeMarest won the Y-Knot Cup for the first time this year. We held two races for the gold fleet in big breeze on Saturday (15-20 out of the south, with gusts up to 28); the extreme conditions forced us to cancel racing for the silver fleet on Saturday. Sunday saw very calm conditions for the Silver fleet; the breeze slowly filled in from the south and we were able to get off two races in light conditions before lunch. We saw a slight build to 6-8 knots after lunch for the gold fleet, which rapidly diminished just after the second race; race three on Sunday was very challenging with light and spotty breeze filling in on the lake in patches.
