Corinthian Midwinters
February 16 - Tiburon
The Corinthian YC's wildly popular midwinter
series wrapped up this weekend with a light air jaunt to the
Cityfront on Saturday and an abandonment due to lack of wind
on Sunday. Despite the truncation of the series, a good time
was had by all, both on the water and on land, as these photos
demonstrate.
The pretty blue Mermaid served as crash boat and video
platform.
Final regatta results were not posted as
of Monday morning, but check back at www.cyc.org/race/2004/midwinters.html later
on. We'll also have results, more photos and a report in the
March issue of Latitude
38.
The often-victorious J/120 Mister
Magoo finished first in PHRF 1 on Saturday.
