A few comments about this Wednesday Night Pursuit Race, and a series standings update incorporating results from the Hudson Cove Merberg Regatta this weekend.
Wednesday Pursuit Race
Howie Rinehart and Bob Shoemaker have been hard at work preparing for the Pursuit Race this Wednesday (Howie will be away, Bob will run the races). Thanks to both of them for the large amount of effort that goes into preparing for this event. The Pursuit Race is a "just for fun" race and the results are not included for scoring the series championship -- we hope a few skippers who haven't been seen much on the race course this season will come out to race this Wednesday and add to the post-race festivities on the patio.
A few reminders:
Hudson Cove Regatta -- Haverstraw
A total of 14 boats raced Haverstraw's Hudson Cove Merberg Regatta over the weekend, with a very brisk breeze for two race Saturday, and wildly varied conditions for a single race on Sunday. Among the 14 were Cruising Fleet members Hee Soo in Spinnaker Division 1 and Pentimento, Sheba, and Zoom in Non-Spinnaker Division 3. Give Bob Milstein of Pentimento a round of applause for three bullets!
With those results in, here are the current leaders in Cruising Fleet Series -- 1) Fleet Champ, 2) Sunday/Regatta (Spin & Non-Spin), and 3) Wednesday Night (Spin & Non-Spin),
Please let me know if you have questions or corrections. And, if you did not race due to your service on Race Committee or Race Patrol, please let me know so that I can properly reflect any Duty Races in your score.

The Sunday/Regatta Series requires a boat to score in a minimum of 10 qualifying races, and the Fleet Champ a minimum of 20 qualifying races. No competitors have crossed either threshold, but it appears several will do so in July. The boats with the largest number of qualifying races in each series:
