Regatta Results
Congratulations are due to all the sailors who competed in last week’s Women’s Regatta and the 106th annual Ephraim Regatta.
Seven boats competed in the Women’s Regatta, held August 3 in windy, wavy, challenging conditions. Third was Ally Dykman with crew Morgan and Suzy Dykman, second was Annika Pearson with crew Maura Zingsheim and Byrn Dyar, and first was Nancy Claypool with crew Carrie Berger and Prudy Hall.
The Ephraim Regatta saw light winds on Saturday, August 6, but the EYC’s excellent race committee was able to finish three quality races just before the wind croaked. On Sunday, August 7, racers and spectators were treated to a classic Ephraim northerly blow with winds building to the high teens and 3-foot waves, which provided challenging and thrilling conditions.

Vail Cup (winner of the first race): Ben Williams and Deb Aronson of the Clinton Lake Sailing Association.
Sturgis Trophy (highest finishing skipper age 18 or under): Alden Crowe with crew Joani Lewis and Christina Davis
