Volume 29 Issue 7 Smoke Signals Page 5 SAILIG EWS Manasquan River YC Challenge Cup – Dedicated by the Commodore of the Manasquan River Yacht Club to foster offshore PHRF racing and to promote camaraderie between the Manasquan and Metedeconk River Yacht Clubs, the Challenge Cup was awarded to the Metedeconk team at the inaugural event in 2008. The 2009 race was sailed in a dying easterly in lumpy seas on Sunday June 28. Despite the best efforts of the defending Metedeconk team of Rick Eytel’s Big Grin, Gary Puco’s Phoenix and Fritz Baier’s Ali-Cat, the Manasquan team redeemed itself after last year’s loss by winning the 12-mile marathon in 2009. Scuttlebutt has it that the Metedeconk team promptly shrugged off the loss and proceeded to win Manasquan’s post-race party. Fourth of July River Race – Ten boats, including one Sneakbox, a 420 and an auxiliary, made it to the starting line for the first running of the Fourth of July River Race on Sunday July 5. Originally sailed by the Sanderling fleet and subsequently the Sandpipers, the 2009 River Race was opened to all classes and scored under the Portsmouth Yardstick. Conditions were challenging on the river as the fleet struggled to round the Club’s fixed racing barrels on a very light westerly breeze. Jason Lutz’ Lightning made the best of the drifter winning the event ahead of a second Lightning skippered by Dick Thomas. Craig Dooren took home the third-place trophy and the award for the best finish in the Sanderlings as did Adrienne Ferrie in the Sandpipers. Block Island Race Week – The 23rd running of the Storm Trysail Club’s Block Island Race Week took place June 21 – 26. A persistent low-pressure system parked over New England the entire week brought foul weather but did nothing to dampen the spirit of the 1,500+ participants. 153 IRC, PHRF and offshore one-design boats competed in seventeen classes, making it one of the largest big boat regattas in North America. Dave Alldian’s Cymothoe was the only Metedeconk boat to make this year’s trek to Block Island Sound. Accompanied by crewmembers David, Jr., Jim Aridas, Ron LaNeve, Eric Lehnes, Steve Lopez, John Schwind and Corey Wingerter, Dave sailed his Sabre 36 to a third place finish in PHRF Division III. Winning two of seven races and scoring a second in the wild Around the Island Race which saw multiple collisions, dismasting and withdrawals, the Metedeconk team had to swallow a DSQ in the fifth race. The award for the best overall performance of the regatta was given to the winner of the J/105 class, Power Play, co skippered by Bruce Stone and Scott DeWeese of San Francisco. PHRF – The 2009 PHRF Championship Series wrapped up on July 7 with the scheduled nine races completed. After a soggy start in May and early June, the sun and warm breezes returned for the last weeks of racing. In the largest fleet, C Division, Bill Bogardus overcame a DNF midway through the series and won three of the last four races to take the overall win ahead of Gary Puco in second and Mark Connell in third. In B Division, Dave Alldian and crew scored no less than a second place in the eight races in which they competed to win their fleet championship. Jack Wood’s boat finished second overall just one point of Rick Eytel’s crew in the Big Grin. Jarrett Lynn’s J/24 won all six races in which the boat competed to take first overall in A Division. Brothers Dave and Alan Ruiter came in second and third respectively.

By virtue of their first-place finishes, Bill, Dave and Jarrett qualify and advance to the final round of the overall Club Championship on September 20. The NJORC continues with the Squan TriSail Regatta August 1-2. Atlantic Highland’s Blue Water Regatta follows on August 8-9. Tune Up Regatta – Paul Gelenitis bested a fleet of eight boats by winning two of three races and taking the overall win in the Sandpiper class at the 2009 Tune Up Regatta hosted by MRYC on June 20. Second place was up for grabs with an unusual three-way tie. Mimi Dimon won the tiebreaker for second ahead of Jim Gelenitis in third. Dan Harding, sailing for Bay Head, had to settle for fourth place. Charlie Barclay squeaked out a win in the Sanderling class only one point ahead of Al Cavaiola in second. With a win in the final race of the series, Frank Dockery finished third overall.
