The First Annual Dick E. Duncan Frosted Pumpkin Regatta
Held at Edgewater Yacht Club, Cleveland, Ohio, November 12, 1994

     Great weather and a great turnout kicked off the First Annual Dick E.
Duncan Frosty Pumpkin Regatta.  The growing Cleveland fleet 747 hosted the
19 boat, one day event at the Edgewater Yacht Club. The regatta was
"collegiate style" with no entry fee, 3 minute dingy starts and
windward/leeward courses with the start/finish in the center of the course.
This format was followed to minimize the time between races.  The racing was
held behind the Cleveland Harbor Breakwall, an ideal area  for short course
racing, providing lake-like conditions, complete with shifty breezes and
flat water.
     Race Committee Chairman, Id Crook, assisted by Ann Crook, Bill Buckles
and John and Cathy Johns, completed six races under cloudy, but warm,
weather with light to medium air. The racing was very close with Rick Wood
and Karen Lorenz posting the most consistent finishes to take the regatta,
followed by Canadian Pan Am qualifiers, Dirk Knuelman and Kathy Ogilvie.
Lisa and Alex Pline switched off skippering, just edging out JR Francis from
Toledo.  After deriggng the boats and consuming a few beers around the
hoist, the party moved to the Pline's for a chili feast. Many thanks to
those from who travelled from Canada, Michigan and Ohio to make this a fun
and successfull regatta.
