This regatta is a tradition at DIYC and is one of the bigger events they host. We were off doing the family thing so no sailing for us. There was a nice little Scot fleet of 12 boats on hand which is about the norm for this event.
The Lintons picked up where they left off in Sarasota, running a streak of bullets! Robby Brown was a solid second and Paul Silvernail was third.
I hear the conditions were fairly nice most of the time, starting out cool but warming up nicely and reasonable breeze. Here are the results;

Nice to see Tom and Ray over from the Lake Eustis fleet. Would have been cool to see some of the Sarasota fleet but they had their own racing going on at the Squadron. All Good!
We will soon be getting ready to leave for Jacksonville and the Gator Bowl this coming weekend, Dec. 4 and 5. Hope to see many of you in Jax.

Flying Scot Thanksgiving Regatta - Tampa
10 boats registered and 7 sailed in this year's Thanksgiving Regatta. Turnout is a bit lower than last year's,
blame the economy, the forecast, the Fleet Captain, looks like more work to do!
Saturday dawned breezy with temps in the 60's, not bad, and it would warm as the day progressed. The breeze was in the 15k range from the South and Southwest with a "Scot unfriendly" chop. Most of the crews
where in healthy de power mode, but if your boat had someone with the last name of Thompson on board you definitely had a advantage!
The first race saw Paul Silvernail and Leslie Fisher win the start at the boat and jump out to the lead for the first two legs, until.. Here's the lecture, if your boat's forestay extender or forestay are over two years old,
replace them, kids, don't argue, replace them. If, on the other hand your extender is brown with rust like someone's was, replace them.
The demise of #5026 briefly gave the lead to the Hayward's until Dave Clement and Corey Thompson #4925
got inside them on a jibe set. This would be the first of four bullets for Dave and Corey in what would prove to be a very impressive day for them. No Scots raced on Sunday as the wind was in the 20k range and the Southerly built chop was much worse.
Dave and Corey coupled solid tactics with a tic better speed upwind to dominate the regatta with 7 points. Following #4925 in the standings was the crafty and charming duo of Al Thompson and Cameron Salmon, #504 with 14 points. One point behind Al and Cameron was the Hayward's #38.

Big thanks to George Haynie and his team for five great races!

Flying Scots and Thanksgiving
In his book Mayflower, Narragansett youth Sunfish great (and Brown sailor) Nat Philbrick describes that around 1621 the Pilgrim's William Bradford declared Thanksgiving. Though half his people, including his wife, had perished over the previous months, and their retirement savings had been shot all to Heck, he declared there would be a feast and that Flying Scots would be raced at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron and the Davis Island YC.
Give thanks all.
Give thanks all.
