2009 RECAP:
The Father, The Son, and Spirit
Congratulations to Nate and John Dickinson
for winning the Non-Spinn and Spinnaker fleets of this year's TI Race, respectfully.
The first Father/Son duo to do so in the history of the race, and on Father's
Day to boot. It was a challenging light-wind marathon with the last boat finishing
at 6 am Sunday. Congratulations also to Spirit, who eked out the close but
uncontested sprint race around Dome. . Check out the complete
results
Open to all sailors on Lake George, the Lake George Ticonderoga Race consists
of four fleets. A short Sprint Race, and
three long-distance races. Any sailboat is welcome in the Sprint Race; see
the Notice

Time on Time scoring system.
Start time for all fleets is 9:30 am in front of Yankee Boating Center.
The Sprint Race (Blue Fleet) is a short race around Dome
Island. Distance is approximately 9 miles.
The Multihull Race (Red Fleet) uses a government buoy at
the north end of the lake as a turning mark for a distance of about 45 miles.
The Monohull Non-Spinnaker Race (Yellow Fleet) rounds Gull
Island near Hague for a distance of about 35 miles.
The Monohull Spinnaker Race (Green Fleet) uses a government
buoy at the north end of the lake as a turning mark for a distance of about
45 miles.
Awards are given in all fleets. The winning skipper in the Monohull Spinnaker
(Green) Fleet is awarded the Brodie Cup, a perpetual trophy named in honor
of Bob and Sheila Brodie of Yankee Boating Center, longtime supporters of the
Corinthians and of sailing on Lake George.
The Ti Race is once again a benefit for the Y-Knot Sailing
Program. So join us for a weekend of fun and camaraderie, and test your sailing skills in the only long-distance race on Lake George!
