Superb Shannon Donkin efforts at
light-air Clark Lake Fall Regatta lift
Uncle Al, SHADES to amazing third
straight miracle finish
 SHADES/Glory Days ghosts along the north shore of Clark Lake. (Gail Turluck photo) (170925) Two weeks ago it
was at Tawas
and the US Nationals where Uncle Al and
Frank Goulay
came back from a seemingly hopeless
deficit to win races 4 and 5 which
created a three-way tie at the top
with one deciding
race to go. And then Frank and Al
completed the Cinderella story
with one more win. Then, in last
week's Pumpkin Regatta at
London's Fanshawe YC, Al and
crew, Dave McCreedy, things
again came down to the final
race, winner take all, against
Leo and Joanne Van Kampen. As
had happened in the previous
four races, Al again fell far
behind early but made an
improbale recovery to win that
race and the series. This week,
at Clark Lake, it was a slightly
different story as Al and crew,
Shannon, appeared to have the
second of two Saturday
semi-drifters under control
going into the final short beat
to the finish, only to lose to
both Marc Nennet and Sue
Pilling. That left both Teams
Bennett and Pilling with 1-2
scores in this no drop series
while Al sat at 3-3. And with no
one from the rest of the fleet
showing realistic signs of
beating the top three W's in any
race, there seemed to be very
little hope for Team SHADES
aka Glory Days. They
would have to win the remaining
two races on Sunday and hope
that Narc and Sue eacg scored a
2-3.
In that case, there would be
a three-way tie at the top,
and Shannon and Al with two
firsts would win the
tie-breaker. And that is
what happened. And not just
two firsts but
mini-horizon-jobs! For the
second week in a row, I felt
a
bit guilty, this time when
Marc and Julie were
running 2nd until
the final beat of
the finale and
were in line to grab
their second
straight Clark Lake
Wayfarer win. Complete
results
here.
More soon.
Close
battle for Storer
continues
(170918) Pumpkin Regatta
action at the Fanshawe YC
Sept. 16-17 left the top of
the Storer Trophy standings
unchanged with David and
Anne Pugh holding their
one-point edge over Marc
Bennett and his wife, Julie,
as both sat this one out. Al
Schonborn and Sue Pilling
each managed to up their
points total by three points
and now sit 3-4 in the
standings, while Jim
Heffernan fell from 4th to
5th. Two new faces in the
top ten this week: Leo Van
Kampen's runner-up finish at
the Pumpkin was good for 7
points and moved him into
9th place, while Mike Codd's
three Pumpkin points moved
into a 10th-place tie with
Phil Leonard - more here
