CYCCM's ladies-only series, The Lady Corinthians, ended its inaugural season on Wednesday August 27 with two critical races for the Sunfish fleet. Cookie Wilsey and Nancy Sayre traded first-place finishes, with Barbara O'Keefe in the top-three mix. Maureen Harris and Kathy Bennung were right there with them in fourth and fifth. Fred Beyer and David Sayre had the ladies sail a triangular course, and everyone handled the conditions well - it was a bit breezier than usual. Since it was the last night of the Series, trophies were awarded along with "paper-plate" awards to each sailor. All agreed that the first Lady Corinthians Series was a big success and everyone looks forward to next year, with new racing recruits expected. Many thanks to Fred and David for making the series possible.

Three one-lap "W"-course races were sailed, with the largest group of Optimists that we've had in weeks.
