Road To The Cup – Week 14 – Nationals Edition

by

So let’s get straight to the bottom line. Congratulations to* Dave Nelson
& Frank Hart *sailing with Frank’s son *Colin Hart*. These guys sailed
such a beautifully consistent regatta, putting up just 31 points over 10
races. They finished with a line that included nine single digits,
including two bullets. Their only double-digit finish was an 11. That
level of consistency (which is my performance holy grail) is just
mind-boggling, particularly in the erratic northeasterly condition we
enjoyed for two of our three days. But more important in my view than
winning is winning well – *how* you win really matters, and these guys won
well. Sportsmanship counts for so much, and you’d be hard pressed to find
more respectful, gentlemanly, good-natured sportsman on our racecourse
than *Dave
Nelson & Frank Hart*. That makes this outcome even more pleasing. Really,
*really* well done!

Road To The Cup – Week 11

by

Road To The Cup – Week 11 Top-10 as of 8/2/14 The dominant theme in the mailbag this week was rules and exoneration after committing a foul (nothing like a street brawl to get people digging for their rule books). I guess the issue is that we don’t seem to be spinning as much as … Read more
