Seventh Annual Rio Grande Cup / Region 5 Championship for RG-65,
October 25 & 26, 2014
Fourteen heats were sailed on Saturday and thirteen heats were sailed on Sunday.
Final results included an allowance for 5 discarded scores (DF=DNF=10 points).
Many thanks go out to all of our members who helped with this event, and special
thanks go to Kathy Bailey (Scorekeeper, arranged meals), Peter Roupas (helped
with food, organizing, measurements), Jim Sheibner (recorded finishes), Paul
Boucher (photography), Peter Eschman (Race Director), Pat Montalvo (framed
awards, NOR), Earl Boebert (1st place trophy), and Allen Buzzell (boat loan).
Winds were generally favorable and racing was close, as evidenced in the close
point spread from 4th through 6th place, and distribution of 1st through 4th
place finishes. We hope to have a more detailed set of results posted soon to
our web site for the Duke City Model Yacht Club:
