Stone Cup
St. Francis Yacht Club
Saturday, May 21, 2005

Our budding photographic genius Lou Zevanov sailed with Art Fowler on Zenith and got some wonderful pictures on Saturday of this two-race day. On Sunday Lou got some shots from the waterfront which show the increased breeze, but also show it's best to be out on the water to get those in-the-moment shots of great racing.

A special treet for everyone was the Saturday evening slide show put on in St. Francis (some pictures below) by professional photographer Chris Ray. There are some fine hang-on-the-wall shots in his collection which you can find at http://www.shutterfly.com/pro/crayivp/StoneCup. Besure to click on each left-hand thumbnail for lots more fine pictures. You can even order them right from the site if you like.

For a change the wind gods were quite gracious and provided excellent sailing with minimal survival sailing. So enjoy!

We had some unfortunate scoring glitches when Pilot raced but had not formally entered and was mistaken for Tenacious - sail numbers 6747 and 6741 respectively, the sequencing of Nimbus & Tenacious was reversed in the first race, and Amante and Tenacious were not recorded in the second race. Here is your link to the finish results as approved by our fleet: Stone Cup - Race 1 & 2 Results. They have been used to update our Season Standings.
