Submitted by Craig Smith, Past President:
The America’s Cup is not the only Match Racing happening this week. The Thistle Class held its annual LARRY KLEIN MEMORIAL MATCH RACING CHAMPIONSHIP at the Mission Bay Yacht Club on February 7th. The championship was won by Doug Hart, with crew Cesar Romero and Moni Lampe, who defeated the current Thistle Class President, Mike Gillum, with crew Mardi Gillum and Fred Nagel, in the final match race of the day. Gillum was ahead at the first mark, but Doug Hart moved ahead on the run and never looked back. Twelve Thistles competed in the morning fleet races, which was used to determine the top 8 boats that competed in the Match Racing. Morning winds were 10 to 15 knots for the fleet racing, but dropped below 10 knots (with beautiful sunshine) for the afternoon’s match racing. Full results may be found at http://www.mbyc.org/...id=604&Itemid=73
Editor's note: The complete Thistle Midwinters West schedule was February 3-7, where 28 boats competed in the nine race series hosted by Mission Bay Yacht Club in San Diego, CA. Winning the Gold flight was Craig Koschalk/ Lauren O'Hara/ Karl Felger. Final results: http://www.mbyc.org/...id=603&Itemid=73
