FBYC Indian Summer results

Last weekend Fishing Bay YC hosted the Indian Summer regatta for Lasers.

13 boats showed up (10 were tuning up for the Nationals this coming weekend) and were treated to some wonderful sailing. Saturday saw the breeze coming out of the North at 6-10 knots. 4 W/L races were held and by day’s end Mike Schmidt (MRSA) held a decent lead over George Panayides.

Sunday saw the 10:00 AM race time temperatures barely hovering at 50 degrees and winds still out of the North with a bit more velocity. Wet suits were doned for the ensuing 2 W/L races. George Panayides won both races and claimed the Indian Summer title for the fourth year in a row.

1. George Panayides HYC 12 points

Fishing Bay Indian Summer

Next up on the circuit is Fishing Bay YC’s Indian Summer regatta. Nestled in picturesque Deltaville, VA, I can almost guarantee zero powerboat chop.

Need directions? Deltaville is on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and is approached via US 17 and US 33 regardless of whether you drive on

I-95 and/or I-64 from the south east. At Saluda continue east on US 33 to Deltaville and turn right at the Little Sue Exxon station on route 1102.

Resist all temptations to take right or left hand turns and follow the signs until you see Fishing Bay immediately in front of you. Your next decision is to turn left and continue slowly over the multiple speed bumps for about 1/2 mile until you see the MORC dry sail area and hoist on your left. Park either to the right or left immediately east of the dry sail area. Welcome to Fishing Bay!
