Sunfish Races

Registration
Rules and Scoring
     The Joe’s Pond Association (JPA) would like to thank the Silloway family as they sold their father’s Sunfish sailboat and have donated the proceeds to JPA for the Sunfish sailing community.  To honor their father, Dr. Fred Silloway, the sailing group will present the Most Improved Sailor award/trophy at the end of the season. 
     In addition, we are also planning to provide T-shirts to our sailors and the support staff. 
     The T-shirt will also be available for sale to raise funds for JPA.  The price for adults' is $25 and children's are $20. The T-shirt has an embroidered logo. The material is tri-blend and there is a female style which is V-neck instead of crew neck.  
     If interested in purchasing one, please provide your style, size and money to Susan Bouchard by July 1st.

2023 Sunfish Race Results

June 25 Race

       There was concern the weather might not cooperate for our first 2023 Sunfish Sailboat race.  There was no rain but the sky was hazy and there was a smoky smell due to the fires from our neighbors in the north. The winds would come and go making it difficult for the sailors but they had a good time!  Jamie Stewart was our Commodore for the race today.

The results of the race for the Single Division was:
        1) Jack LaGue       
        2) Jules Chatot
        3) Jay Chatot
        4) Rob Stewart

And for the Double Division:
        1) Lee Erdmann with granddaughter, Lila
        2) Joe Cassani with nephew, Grayson

July 23 Race

A perfect day for the 2nd Sunfish Sailboat race after all the rain we have had the past 2-3 weeks. The wind picked up during the afternoon which made it a very competitive race. 

In the Single Division, Jack LaGue crossed the finish line just in front of Jay Chatot as Jack was positioned on a starboard tack so he had the right-of-way over Jay.  For the Double Division, Lee Erdmann won but Joe Cassani had the lead for a good part of the race. 

The final race for 2023 is scheduled Sunday, August 20th with the Award Ceremony following the race.  In addition to recognizing the winner of the Single Division and the Double Division, we will present a plaque to the Most Improved Sailor in honor of Dr. Fred Silloway.  The Silloway family generously donated the proceeds from the sale of their father’s Sunfish Sailboat to JPA to be used for the sailing community.
