(Larchmont, New York)- On Saturday, May 14th, the Larchmont Yacht Club hosted its popular spring offshore classic- the Edlu Distance Race. A fleet of fifty-four boats, including 22 J\/Teams (41.0% of the fleet), raced the shorter course- the Twenty-Six Foot Spot Buoy- 18.0nm. A wise decision considering the light air conditions facing the fleet on Saturday and, notably, an extremely high “no-show” attrition rate due to the near glass-out weather conditions. Consider this simple fact, a J\/160<\/a> won a class and overall honors sailing an 18.0nm in 4 hours 22 minutes elapsed time… a fresh-to-frightening lee rail cocktail party at an eye-blistering, skin-pealing 4.18 kts. A tall tale to tell at the yacht club bar after racing. <\/p>\n In ORC Division, the US Merchant Marine Academy’s J\/44<\/a> KINGS POINT COMET took the bronze medal. <\/p>\n For the PHRF Doublehanded Division, Jon Yoder & Bill Gassman’s J\/100<\/a> BLACKCOMB took the bronze, followed by Josh Burack’s J\/105<\/a> PEREGRINA in 4th place and Lawrence Azzaretti’s J\/122<\/a> BOULDERADO in the sixth position. <\/p>\n PHRF III Division saw just two finishers after 6 hours of sailing 18.0nm… a gruesome 3 kts average for 33 footers! Second was EJ Haskell & Jim Weil’s J\/92<\/a> VIXEN. <\/p>\n The scenario for PHRF II Division was equally as debilitating. Second place went to Iris Vogel’s J\/88<\/a> DEVIATION, followed by Nicolas Delcourt’s J\/88<\/a> OH JEE! in third, and Kurt Locher’s J\/42<\/a> ATALANTA in fourth place. <\/p>\n Only the PHRF 1 Spinnaker Division saw a decent number of finishers for the proverbial big boat division. Winning was Len Sitar’s J\/160<\/a> COUGAR, winning Overall PHRF honors, too. Third was Bill & Jackie Baxter’s J\/111<\/a> FIREBALL, fourth Arthur Hanlon’s J\/112e<\/a> DAUNTLESS, 7th Dale & Mike McIvor’s J\/133<\/a> MATADOR, and 8th Steven Levy’s J\/121<\/a> EAGLE.
