Sailors were again
greeted with no wind as they sailed out to the course for Day three of the
2007 Sperry Top-Sider Sonar World Championships. At 11:30, the Race
Committee hoisted the AP and it quickly became apparent that the
competitors where in for a long day. By 12:00 a light sea breeze began to
make an appearance. Hoping to avoid the general recalls that have been a
part of every start of the series, the Race Committee informed the
competitors that the first start would be with the Z flag. Staying in the
breeze was the key to the first race and no one did it as well as Sam
Altreuter (585). Coming in from the left hand side of the course, he
rounded the top mark with a five boat length lead and would go on to lead
at every mark. The next seven boats were all close and changed positions
throughout the race. In the end, it was Sam Altreuter in first, followed
by Peter Galloway (701) in second, Erik Goethert (425) in third, Sonar
Designer Bruce Kirby (633) in fourth, and Bob Monro (605) in fifth. Dave
Curtis (564) who crossed the line in third was OCS. |

About 30 Sonar's took advantage of the easterly breeze of 8 to 10 knots for 2 practice races on Tuesday. |
