To all who came to the 2014 WICR, and those who participated from afar - A huge -Thank You ! The reason the event is fun - is YOU and your commitment to sailing/racing, eating chili-size and sailing and racing and sailing and...driving in from Timbukthree to the Sticker Patch,Arizona!

A better group wasn't to be found! Performances of note: What do we say about 'PaintBoy'?? that boat just plain hauls you know what! In light air he gets 300-500 yards ahead of us! Great job gentlemen - well done Brother Stan ! (see these guys hiking out on that thing - A-types fer sure...{;>) ) The Sage 17's of Jerry Montgomery and Dave Scobie - made another sweep of the production >17 foot sector - Jerry and Dave battling it out every race and Dave sailing solo! Fastest non-modified 17's on the Lake !! Ron McNeil and crew sailing a standard rig M-17 came out swinging and strutting their stuff! Nice work! ...we think he has a Sage 17 in his sights.... Doug Kelch showed good speed and was quite consistent. Beautiful boat too! Phil McCowin in his Sage 17 'Alida' made the loooong trek down to the land of 'sunshine & shorts weather' and sailed solo, having periods of good speed and navigating the crowds at the line well. Paul Bear - all over the place - Paul actually 'finished' a race 'incorrectly' - so as to save the fleet from being TimeLimitExpired and then, like the gentleman he is - withdrew from the race JUST so the rest could finish the one SLOOOW race - what a guy! Paul thinks highly of breakfast - so much so, he watched the first race on Sunday from the restaurant! "He meant to do that!" Sal and Gail Glesser- are troopers and sponsors of the event at ALL levels! Thank You Sage/Spyderco, your support is appreciated.- speed seemed to elude some of the M-15's - segue to - Bernard Price - 2013 WICR 1st Place<17 and 2013 2nd Place Overall - couldn't find the loud pedal - He had his moments and shamed us ALL- flying his symmetric chute SOLO! - but - Next year watch out for this guy! Howie and Son - the ONLY boat representing the Potters ! Thanks for the good effort- it was great seeing you in Phoenix! - Howie had FUN after his race! The Wisslers - from Southern Arizona - said the starts and traffic were a bit disconcerting -those darn Vipers!! ;>) We hope to see you next year! Thanks for coming.Nice to meet the two of you! Kudos to ALL the crew on the boats - the AzYC and volunteers, our Race Pros and the Leukemia Cup Supporters!
