102525.2402@compuserve.comSixteen Class Winners Crowned at GMC Yukon/Sailing World NOOD Regatta
--Fleet of 208 Boats Conclude Three-Day Regatta in Teen-Strength Northwest BreezeAnnapolis (MD) May 9, 1999 - For Rolph Townshend of Annapolis-skipper of Alberg 30 SKYBIRD who has been sailing on the Chesapeake Bay for 60 years-the final day at the GMC Yukon/Sailing World NOOD Regatta was a workout he will remember.
Townshend, age 69, and his crew-all of whom are retired-finished this three-day regatta with a 3-1 day, handling the short-course racing with near-aerobic spinnaker sets and takedowns, in a puffy, 6- to 14-knot breeze with big shifts that had crews shifting gears quickly. The SKYBIRD crew returned to land fatigued, bruised, and mentally overworked. But, "We had a ball!" said Townshend, after reaching the docks to claim first place overall in the Alberg 30 class.
Townshend's sentiments were echoed by many of the 1,100 sailors who competed at the first NOOD Regatta (National Offshore One-Design) ever held on the Chesapeake Bay. After three days of racing in wind that built from 4/5 knots and into the mid-teens, with shifts and oscillations and varying pressure, the sailors who collected trophies tonight were awarded for well-deserved wins.
Sixteen one-design classes competed at the NOOD, hosted May 7-9 by Annapolis Yacht Club, with race management assistance from Eastport YC and the Storm Trysail Club of the Chesapeake. All classes sailed six windward-leeward races. The fleet of 208 boats from 21 States, the District of Columbia, and Canada was the largest first-year fleet in the 12-year history of the NOOD regatta series. A rundown on each class' outcome follows.
-Alberg 30 skipper Rolph Townshend of Annapolis and his crew on SKYBIRD entered the final day of racing in a tenuous position: He was only .25 points ahead of his closest competition. A 3-1 on the final day gave Townshend the class win. Bruce Breiding's PHANTOM (Annapolis), who was Townshend's closest rival for a win, finished in fourth place overall; the PHANTOM crew did not complete the sixth race when a gear failure occurred.
-Cal 25 CL2 owned by Geoffrey Swanhart of Sterling (VA) lead the Cal 25 class throughout the series for a 2.75-point win over second-place CHICKEN LITTLE, owned by Charles Husar of Annapolis.
-Catalina 27 skipper Francis Wright and his crew on CHESHIRE CAT entered the final day of racing in the lead in this 9-boat class. A 4-6 on the final day gave this Annapolis crew enough of a margin to take the class win. With two bullets on the final day, John Ebell's HI TIDE (Annapolis) came closest to toppling Wright's lead in the finale.
-Kip Meadows' One Design 35 (1D35) ROXANNE of North Carolina took an early lead in the 13-boat 1D35 class and edged further and further to the top as the series progressed, with tactician Terry Hutchinson in the afterguard. But the battle for second and third turned into a more dramatic conclusion, and Doug Croker's CANVASBACK (Oxford, MD) edged Steve Pfeifer's NORTHERN BEAR (Cedarburg, WI) out of second place by only .25 points in the final standings. The NOOD is part of the 1D35 Season Championship.-The 17-boat J/22 class was won by Will Crump and his crew on BOCKSCAR (Oxford, MD). Crump was tied with Pete McChesney of Annapolis after the first day of racing. But Crump edged further from his rival by series' end, finishing with a 7-point margin over McChesney and his crew on DADDY.
-The 18-boat J/24 class was topped by Thomas Sitzmann and his crew on PATRIOT. Annapolis racer Sitzmann lead this class throughout the entire series.
-John Esposito's J/29 HUSTLER from City Island (NY), a past North American champion in this class, sailed a string of four bullets on the last two days of racing to take the J/29 class win.
-Twenty-one J/30s had a competitive battle going on the Bay. GUNSMOKE, campaigned by McGuirk/Dallam of Bel Air (MD), moved into the lead after four races. This boat entered the final day of racing with a slim 1.25-point leading margin but parlayed that edge into a 7-point class win in the final tally.
-New Jersey skipper F.N. Sagerholm on J/35 AUNT JEAN took an early lead in the series. But Rick Born's J/35 GRAYLING sailed to the finish of Race 3 with a near-minute leading edge. Today, the GRAYLING crew from Baltimore continued their winning streak with a 2-1 record to win this class. The J/35s return to the Chespeake this fall to race their North Americans.
-A fleet of 22 J/105s, the largest fleet in the regatta, mixed it up in the standing more than most other classes at this event. A different boat lead after every day of racing, and boats with a first-place race in their score went as deep as the 10th-place boat. Steven Brice Phillips' LE-RENARD (Arnold, MD) took an early lead with a 1-1 score; Glenn Robbins' WITCH (Pasadena, MD), with Gary Jobson in the afetrguard, was leading after Day 2; PLUM CRAZY, owned by Andrew Skibo of Chudds Ford (PA), sailed a 1-2 finale to take the class win. Skibo counts his two sons, who handle the foredeck, in his crew.
-A fleet of six Laser 28s from the U.S. and Canada, who had not had much opportunity to compete against each other in a one-design format, gathered in Annapolis to vie for class honors. Brian Lees' 2ND REPEAT from Annapolis moved into the lead on Day 2 with a 1-1 score, and they held their first-place slot in the final two races.
-Ed Collins and Barry Allardice's Mumm 30 USA 48 sailed a 1-2 finale to move into the class lead on the final day of racing. After a 9-2 opening day, Collins used the second day of racing as "hand-to-hand combat day," keeping his crew aggressive and focused to move up in the standings. The Annapolis NOOD is the third event in the Mumm 30 North American Championship. Collins, Allardice, and their crew collected a half-hull model for their win, which is a special trophy presented by the class.
-Three Melges 24 skippers traded leads each day, and these three skippers entered the final race with only 1.5 points separating first to third place. Wayne Pignolet and Nancy Sauer (Sagamore Hills, OH) on PUMBA ended the series only .5 points ahead of second-place HOT TODDY, owned by Jeffrey Todd of Annapolis.
-Pearson 30 RESULTS, owned by Arthur Libby, III of Annapolis, lead this seven-boat class throughout the entire series, capturing the lead on Day 1 with a perfect 1-1 score.
-The crew on S2 7.9 BERNOULLI made their 1,500-mile trek from Linden, Michigan, worth the mileage by winning 5 out of 6 races for the S2 7.9 class win. Mike Elliott and his crew had a perfect 1-1-1-1 record going into the final day. BERNOULLI's only loss was a second place to Gregory Robinson's WINED-UP TOY, who edged Elliott out at the finish line today by a half-boatlength.
-Viper 640 skipper Seamus Hourihan (Boxford, MA) lead this 10-boat fleet throughout the series to take the Viper win by one point. By winning the Annapolis NOOD, Hourihan leads the standings in the 1999 Viper 640 NOOD Overall Championship.
