The 2018 Laser Grand Prix at Sayville Yacht Club - August 11-12
25 Laser sailors invaded the Sayville YC to do battle in the renowned warm lumpy waters of Blue Point, undeterred by the rainy forecast for the weekend.  The lightning held off long enough for Saturday, with four races completed in ten to fifteen knots of breeze.  Sunday greeted the early arrivals with a drenching sunshower, but sunscreen was needed by race time.  The wind came back at eleven to fourteen.  Prior champions Mike Matan and Lawrence McGrath went at it, with Mike coming out victorious by one point.  BTW, the club also hosted the district championship for the Sunfish class, the very capable race commitee sending Lasers, Radials, and Sunfish around the course with no interference.  The folks at Sayville know how to party - Saturday night featured a tasty BBQ, beer provided by the South Bay Brewing Company, and live music by the Urge.  If you missed the action this year, make this one a must-do for next year!
