July 7 Mendota YC Opti Racing

Four sailors competed on Lake Mendota on Sunday, July 7 to cap off the holiday weekend. Brian Anderson reports that race conditions were perfect with a south wind at 6 to 10.  Waves were minimal, and unlike the week before, motorboat traffic was reduced (slow no wake on other area lakes seemed to send all power boats to Lake Mendota the previous week making for hairy conditions for the Opti sailors).

Lev Kerlow showed great improvement this week winning one race and Martha Anderson continued her upward trend finishing second in another.  Oscar Anderson played the course well winning three of the five races.  Will Segersten raced in four of the five races winning one race. Brian describes Will's sailing as "just fast, all the time."
