Cressy Qualifiers (September 22-23, 2012)

This year, the Cressy Qualifiers were held on Lake Minnetonka, out of Wayzata Community Sailing Center.  Cressy is a Laser only event split into standard and radial divisions.  Jimmy Moriarity, George Ernst and Tip Flocco sailed standards.  Fin Elliot and RJ Porter sailed Radials.  Out of each division, the top two qualified.  The first day saw medium winds around 10 knots, with plenty of shifts.  George capsized at the beginning of the day, and kicked a foot shaped hole in his centerboard trying to right the boat.  RJ had an outstanding day, and sat in second, looking to qualify. The second day had the same conditions as the first, and after a hard day of racing, RJ failed to qualify, and finished tied for third.  This was a disappointing end to his outstanding weekend.
