Hello Laser Sailors,
Bunny Day Report:
7 hearty souls braved the icy waters of Grand Traverse Bay for the annual Bunny Day Regatta on Saturday May 5th. Sunny skies and E-NE winds greeted the sailors and we were able to get 4 races off before the breeze really piped up and the cool water temps did a number on the competitors. By the last race the breezze was up to a solid 15 knots with puffs even higher. Patrick Gerber showed excellent downwind technique on the last leg of race one to squeeze out a win over Tom Babel and Than Dykstra, followed closely by Ted Lockwood, Bill Babel, Joergen Trepp and Keith Forton. Races two and three saw similar patterns in the scores until Than was able to break the Gerber/Babel stranglehold on 1st and 2nd to secure a 2nd. Tom Babel's first place finish in the last race with Patrick Gerber's 3rd gave Tom the 2007 Bunny Day Championship. Congrats Tom!! Thanks to everyone for coming out and we'll see you on water!!
