The Central Adirondack Sailing Association (CASA) held its sixth week of sailing races on Saturday, August 8 with the sailors struggling to find consistent winds throughout the day. Eight Flying Scots did persevere and finish both races.
In the first race, Duffy Zornow with crew Patrick Zornow took first in a photo finish.
Coming in very close for second and third places were Dale Stanton and Paul Chambers and Paul Willsey and Butch Hartsig.
In the second race, with a more substantial margin of victory, Liz Cowles and Carey Lorraine captured first place.
Second place went to Wayne Menz and Phil Sanzone and third place was Doug Smith and Sandy McCarley.
Flying Scott Fleet 104 will be hosting the New York Lakes District Championship the on Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16.
The last time Fleet 104 hosted this event was in 1997 and the fleet is looking forward to bringing back this exciting round of races.
Up to twenty Flying Scots are expected from Fourth Lake as well as all over upstate New York.
The event will be based primarily between Palmer Point and North Woods Inn on Fourth Lake.
The regular racing season will continue through August 29 with two races every Saturday starting at 3 p.m.
The only exception to this schedule will be the weekend of the District Championship.
All types of sailboats are welcome to join and Sunfish sailors are particularly encouraged.
