GMYC sailors claim 3 of the top 5 positions at this past weekend’s Green Pond Regatta in Anderson, SC this past Saturday. Ted Bogardus and Tim Owens claimed the 4th and 5th positions respectively and Jake Kohl won the event over local Green Pond sailors Nigel Pitt (2nd) and Neil McGrath (3rd). New GMYC member, Rick Richardson, joined his first regatta in several years and was quickly getting his new (and beautifully constructed) boat tuned in and improving his racing result steadily throughout the day. Neil McGrath’s / Green Pond’s facilities and hospitality proved outstanding and though we had a few moments of “hold your breath” light air sailing, most of the day provided a perfect 5 to 8 knots of breeze with gentle shifts and pressure changes for very tactical sailing.

Hey Mike, Good to see you are keeping an eye on us here in Greenville! We sail every Wednesday here in Greenville. We had a great time at Green Pond. Neil and the boys put on a great annual event and we all appreciate it very much…Thanks again Neil!!
I think several of us are planning on making the trip to Orlando next year, so we’ll see you then. Cheers,
Ted
