Mindful of high wind and storm warnings forecast for Saturday and Sunday (the planned days for the MISSA East Mallory Pre-Qualifier regatta), the regatta chair and all coaches agreed to move the start of the regatta to Friday afternoon immediately after the conclusion of the MISSA East Baker Pre-Qualifier regatta in order to try and get enough races in to qualify teams to move on to the MISSA Mallory Qualifier. This turned out to be a prudent decision, considering that winds were clocked at a steady 25 knots on Saturday morning, and no racing was able to be held on Saturday or Sunday.
A total of four races were sailed in each of A division and B division, with wind speeds ranging from 5-12 knots out of the northeast. Congratulations to the top six teams that qualify to move on and represent MISSA East at the MISSA Mallory Qualifier regatta: Grosse Pointe South, Rocky River, Cranbrook Kingswood, West Bloomfield, St. Ingnatius, and Detroit Country Day. Awards were also presented to the top A division sailors, Ian Moran (skipper) and Margot Dugan (crew) of Rocky River, and the top B division sailors, Blake Stackpoole (skipper) and Dominic Dulac (crew) of Grosse Pointe South.
A huge thank you to GPYC/GPYNEF and Grosse Pointe South High School for hosting the regatta, and to the following individuals: Harold Stackpoole, regatta chair; Eric Ellison, on-site MISSA representative; Lynn Frikker, MISSA representative; Cliff Black, umpire; Dennis Bartley, judge; Kathy Johnson, scorekeeper; Torrey Stackpoole and the entire hospitality crew; and the many other individuals who stepped up to assist on and off the water to make this a safe and fun regatta for all involved.
