2003 Audubon Yacht Club Annual V-32 Regatta
 
 
AMYA Club #110 held it's second annual regatta on Lake Audubon in Naples Fl on April 9th 2003.  The fleet, consisting of forty four Victor Model Products V-32's avoided radio channel interference problems by limiting each race to 16 boats at a time and marking sails with channel numbers rather than hull numbers.  NO 23 channel syndrome problems were encountered.  Outstanding races were sailed by Ed Garesché, Barbara Butler, Ed Moler, Tom Burke, Leo Gallagher and Tom Harrick, Grankids races were delightful and showed great future talent!  All competitors were proclaimed champions and are looking forward to next year.
