2008 Laser Masters Midwinter’s East

by John Fox

 

Sixty-Six Sailors from across the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe came to Melbourne to sail in the 2008 Laser Masters Midwinter’s East February 15-17 2008. The event was sailed from Melbourne’s Ballard Park and was hosted by Melbourne Yacht Club.

 

Friday brought sunny skies warm temperatures and a Northeast breeze of 5 to 7 kts. Peter Branning of Miami, was the man of the day with a 3rd in the first race and 1st in the second. A very impressive showing after an eight-year break from the class. John MacCausland of Cooper River NJ was hot on his tail with a 2-4 for second place. After the racing, 87 MYC club members joined our regatta guests for a welcoming barbeque dinner.

 

Saturday brought more sunny skies. After a 40 minute postponement, the wind filled from the East and the Race Committee ran 4 more races. An OCS in the first race of the day, dropped Peter to 6th overall and Alden Shattock of Stuart Florida took over the lead after 6 completed races. John MacCausland held onto second only 2 points behind and James Jacob from Alexandria VA moved into 3rd. After Sailing the contestants were treated to a roast pork banquet back at MYC with door prizes donated by various businesses.

 

On Sunday, the Melbourne sea breeze came in with winds at 15 knots for the first race of the day and building to 22 knots by the end of race 3. Mike Matan of New York reveled in the heavier winds to take the day with finishes of 2-1-5. In the end though John MacCausland proved to be the most consistent sailor to take the overall trophy. John was also the posted the best combined score from the four regattas in the Master’s series to earn the title of “King of the Laser Masters”.
