The District 18 grand prix in Vermilion was awesome, with 39 total boats coming out! Congrats to placers 1st-3rd in the full rig, Kevin Shockey, Roman Plutenko, and John Shockey. More info about the regatta in the 2008 results.
Congrats to Keith, Jason, and Tyler this past weekend at the Louisville slugger...Also adding a couple of pics from the regatta. Looks like the regatta had a good turnout! To all those who neglected the chance to sail at the Slugger, there is always winter sailing in Florida. (You too Juniors!)
Tyler Andrews, Kevin Shockey, and Kaleigh White(geared in their Team Intensity blue rashguards) place 14th at the 2007 Thistle Nationals. Tyler and Kevin are D18 Laser sailors who made a short thistle campaign this year and made great strides against some of the midwest's finest Thistlers. Team Intensity captured the 2007 Junior Nationals Championship in the Thistle class.
The 2007 Leukemia Cup was a fantastic event once again for all those who made it out. The top laser team finished in 4th place overall, while Team Intensity had their dates mixed up finishing with a humbling 2nd from Last! The Regatta site has more info on this. www.Leatherlips.com
D18 Championships held at Leatherlips Yacht Club was fun and filled with intense racing! Barret Rhoads took 1st, Ken Swetka took 2nd followed by myself (John Shockey) in 3rd.

RESULTS and REGATTA REPORT-Janet Rupert One last note, special thanks to the ones who put in the miles to make it here; atendees from Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana, made the regatta a complete success.
