Trans Erie Yacht Race 2006

2006 Race:  Start: Erie, PA - Finish: Grosse Ile, MI
 
 
Wild Wet Ride - 0-25 knots with the top 4 boats from different classes - staying on the rhumb line was the key to victory, as all the class winners stayed close to the rhumb line and did not get caught in the hole north of Erie, PA, where many boats sat windless for as much as 4-5 hours.  The last 50 miles turned into a moderate air (15-20) knot upwind slog through 3-4 foot nasty Lake Erie chop, accompanied by heavy rain showers as cold front after cold front rolled through.
 
Special notes: 
 
Small but very active and competitve fleet, no multihull or doublehanded class (no entries)
 
Only five skippers left who have done every race: Kevin Lemonds, Matt Dubois, Jim Bourgault, Roger Pollack. and Sue Grassley
