Jack Navarra wins 2006 District II Championship at Lake Elizabeth

Thirteen boats representing 3 Fleets gathered at Fleet 62s’ Lake Elizabeth for the District II Championship Regatta September 16 and 17.  Divided into A’s and B’s, the skippers and crew encountered light breezes building to moderate winds with strong gusts by the end of both days.

“A” fleet Jack and Jim Navarra, 4285, from Fleet 62, while challenged in many races, consistently scored low and handily won the 7 race series. Fleet 59 sailors from Morro Bay, Don and Kit Lockwood, 5050, and Pat and Dot Rygh, 3000, took 2nd and 3rd respectively. Butch Michel, 2665, was 4th with Kathy as crew for the first time in 17 years. Race 6 had Don and Kit Lockwood, 5050, and Richard and Kathy Leijonflycht, 4516, leading the fleet until they reached to the wrong mark allowing the entire fleet to pass them. Don and Kit recovered to 4th while Richard and Kathy, refusing to lower their centerboard for the upwind home leg, remained in 7th place.

“B” Fleet Terry and Joey Hensley in 4354 matched points with Rodney and David Neis, 229, but scored first with more top finishes. Jim Mackey’s daughter, Sarah, age 11, with crew Christopher St. Dennis, was 5th with a best 2nd place in the 5th race.

A great dinner party at Joe Davis’ house Saturday night where the attendees devoured the Turkey won at last year’s Lake Washington Sailing Club’s Turkey Shoot. Richard Leijonflycht, Fleet 8, was elected District 2 Secretary while outside getting some 2006 Turkey Shoot NOR’S from his car.
