Here is a quick link to my brief writeup on the Kona North Americans that were held at Lake Waconia, MN this weekend. Over 50 sailors competed, and many MOWIND’ers had good showings.

Thanks to Alex Monroe for the great find. There are other great lakes listed in the article as well, Lakes Superior and Michigan, to name two.

Sorry for the late write up everybody, but here are the scores from the Door County Breeze.  The weekend started on Friday with the fun sail.  I was unable to attend the Friday sail, but I heard there was a great wind.  As the pictures show, it appears that the wind was quite nice.

For the racing on Saturday and Sunday the winds were not as cooperative.  The winds never got over 10 mph, but we were still able to get 3 races in on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.  Magnus came out strong on the first race with a bullet after I lead for the first lap.  He was fast all weekend on a charter Phantom 320 and a Severne raceboard 8.5.  I got my starts dialed in, and I finished with two firsts.

On Sunday, Mike Reed was on fire in the light winds.  He flew around the course and took bullets in the first two races.  Magnus, Andy (on a 7.5), Peter, and I were also up front mixing it up.  The last race of the day I was able to get another great start and finish in first.

A big thanks goes out to Steve and his family for putting on this event.  Everybody, racers and non racers seemed to have a great time in the crystal clear waters, and the home made dinner was great once again.

The next big race this year is the Kona North American Championships in Waconia, MN.  I just received word that there are still a few openings for charter boards.  This is a great opportunity for one design racing with some great windsurfers.

The scores can be found attached below.
