Sunfish NAs...short story...
BWYC sent Judy Reeves, Nick Doty, Cindy Cady (DNS), and the Edwards Trio (Todd, Anne, and Clinton). 62 boats participated.
Nick participated in both Jr and NAs. He finished third overall in Jr NAs. He also finished 39th overall and was second in the Alcort division. He was just four points from first in the Alcort division. A Stieffel won this division many years ago!

Anne won the last race, finished 10th overall and was Top Female.
Todd finished 9th overall. He did flip multiple times in one race after hitting the mark. He has some nice pictures of this scene.
