1st Annual Ohio Invitational - 2009
The First Annual Ohio V-32 Invitational regatta at Delco Park in Kettering was a success. We got to sail our boats in competition and met a lot of great sailors from the club in Indianapolis.  Thirteen skippers attended this First Annual Ohio Invitational Regatta.  Five Indianapolis Admirals raced with eight Kettering Model Sailing Club members. We raced all thirteen boats as a single fleet.

Temperatures were a very nice 70 degrees as we sailed under cloudy skies in winds of 4 to 8 mph with infrequent lulls. A big, dark cloud passed to the south of us and for a while it looked like we were going to get rained out--but we never got rain at all.

Hopefully this will become an annual event and maybe next year we jump into deeper water and hold a regional regatta. There are additional photos on Mark Camden's web page http://markcamden.com/KMSC/07-18-09.htm.

1st place
Brian Brozek - Indianapolis Admirals

2nd place
Gene Wisner - Indianapolis Admirals

3rd place
Pete Pippen - Indianapolis Admirals

4th place
