2008 ACC : Race 4, The Start and Weathermark 1
Potentially the last race of the day. Race 4, 1.0 nm, 070. Five legs.
Fleet off to a perfect start. All clear with an aggressive feel.
Corinthians JA Booker and Bob Kroetsch go head-to-head with Kroetsch taking the lead by a slim margin at the top mark. Also mixing up the top five is Joe Blouin and Rob Butler along with Weisleder and Kolius in the top five.

November 22, 2008 | 5:44 PMKopf went on to take the win. Just simply some great sailing today by Kopf and team. Speed — man they were fast! Really, really fast!
Congratulations to Corinthian Bob Kroetsch! In Race 4 today Bob took second place! Nice job after coming in to the top mark along with Corinthian challenger and DIYC club member J A Booker. Bob took the lead, but Kopf really had it going on today!
Bob has only been in the class for a short five months. We hope to see more of this great team in the future.
I’d like to also point out fleet newcomer AND Corinthian also — Rob Butler who has a second home in Florida, however calls Canada his first is in fourth place overall! A 6-3-4-12 scoreline is impressive

November 22, 2008 | 8:49 PMSteve and company did a great job…..they were good upwind, but great downwind just keeping it going and the boat on a plane the whole time. They did great connecting the dots…..Hopefully tomorrow we can play more with them.
