2017 Y-Knot Cup Regatta


18th Annual Y-Knot Cup Regatta

Saturday & Sunday, September 9-10, 2017
Light wind on Saturday morning forced the abandonment of the first Gold fleet race, and the weather remained dead calm through lunch. A small rain squall brought breeze down the lake from the NNE and allowed us to run three races Saturday afternoon for the Silver fleet. Shamus Evans, a first-time racer and our youngest Y-Knot sailor at 11 years old, dominated the day. Sunday saw more consistent breezes in the 8–10 range, with an occasional gust around 12–14.  In the Silver fleet it was Paul Moore’s turn to dominate. We were able to squeeze in four races for the Gold fleet sailors to help make up for the shutout of the previous day, with Curt Leatherbee posting a perfect score for the regatta win.
