Svendsen's Thursday Night Series #1 at Treasure Island Sailing CenterApril 5

Story
The 2012 season got off to a great start, with 15 boats on the line on a windy Thursday afternoon. John Super ran three quick windward-leewards for us.

Race 1 saw puffs to around 18 knots, with Al Sargent and new crew Rachel Maxson first at the weather mark, but lost downwind to Ken Turnbull/Kelly Gregory, and Dave/Jessica, who finished first and second, respectively.

Race 2 saw a bit less wind. Jack and Gordon Porter passed Al and Rachel to take the bullet, with Al/Rachel taking second and Ken/Kelly hanging tough for third.

Race 3 saw the wind drop to around 10 knots. Ken did a great job stuffing Al at the start, and went on to take second in that race, and first for the evening. 1005 (who didn't register on the website, ahem...) took first, with Ben and Anna taking third.

A hearty welcome and honorable mention goes to Mike & Eleanor, who had their first Vanguard 15 regatta (I'm pretty sure), having just recently purchased Garth Copenhaver's old steed, Sleeping Beauty, #1177.

Social chairs were Chad and Natasha, I'm pretty sure, and made some wicked good chili. Thanks!

Friendly reminders that we mentioned:

Sign up on the social chair Google doc: http://j.mp/v15social2012 . You will be harassed mercilessly until you do.

Sign up for each race day so social chairs bring enough food and drink. You don't want to have to be the one that has to drink one of last year's Tecates since all other beverages ran out. Our next race: http://vanguard15.org/schedule/647

Ski/Sail is coming up fast, April 14 and 15. All the rain down here means snow up there! Avery Patton and Amy Guarnieri are the organizers. Sign up: http://vanguard15.org/schedule/670
