Cold Front #3
This past Saturday was the third and final day of racing for our Winter? Cold Front Series. Finally, there was some wind for the 29 sailors. This day of racing allowed for us to four races on the RWB/Laser and five races on the Green Fleet Line.

Taking the podium on the RWB line was Stephen Momeier with four bullets on the day. Following behind Stephen was William Baker in second and Casey Small in third. Meanwhile, in the match race between Max Bettis and Ethan Polsen on the Laser Line, Max took first after winning the tiebreaker in the final race of the day.

On the Green Fleet Line, William Wise won the day of racing with four bullets in five races. Stealing the perfect day of racing from William was Cinco Poindexter. Cinco's bullet in the final race of the day tied him with his sister, Lily (3rd), and won the tiebreaker for him.

Congrats to all who joined us on a great day of sailing. Results for the Club Championship will be announced at the Seahorse Ball on January 11th.

2019 Junior Olympic Sailing Festival (aka Florida State Opti Champs)
Two weekends ago, the US Sailing Center at Martin County, Jensen Beach, hosted the traditional Junior Olympic Sailing Festival, which has been named the Florida State Opti Champs before. 128 sailors participated in this event, which had some very challenging conditions like a light breeze, storms popping out of nowhere and extremely shifty winds.

Matias Martin was the only Lakewood sailor representing, and despite the added difficulty of starting in a single line of 128 boats, he managed to finish in a fantastic 2nd place overall! Matias was very consistent in his results, and was one of the only 2 sailors finishing all the 4 races completed in the top 10 (7,3,6,3) which rewarded him with a place on the podium as mentioned, and top Red Fleeter for the event.
