1ST Place Overall GMORA Winners in class C! RC was also 1st Western Region and 3rd Central Region.

What a great season! Remember in the last post I wrote that the PHRF New England’s gave us a couple of points, and that it was significant. Well, here’s why. The New England PHRF Championship was the last race on our schedule and was our last chance to get points for the season. At that point we were in 2nd place overall. Commotion was in first place by a fraction of a point! The spread between boats is usually anywhere from 20 to 50 points! And here we are the last race of the season and a fraction of a point different! Intense! Commotion and Roach Coach were in tight competition all year, both boats making every race they could. This race was no different and both boats were on their way, skippers and crew gritting their teeth, hungry for points. RC’s placement added several points to the season standings and RC ended up first for the season! Phew! That was amazingly close! I’m so proud of the crew and skipper for not choking in such tough race. We are expecting the same kind of competition and camaraderie this season so I’m hoping to see as many of the veteran crew back for the 2007 season. If RC is going to do as well or better (there is still the Dirigo Bowl to be had!) RC will need the entire team!
