2002 Die Hard Regatta Results
Lake Harriet YC, MN
September 14 - 15, 2002
(Results and narrative submitted by Tran Alfrey on September 25, 2002)
Four fleets including 18 MC’s joined us on Lake Harriet to close out our season with our traditional
DieHard Regatta. The weather forecast was right on as the early morning drizzle quit around 8:00AM
and a light westerly breeze filled in to give us one race before lunch. Dave Mott and Bill Colburn had
no trouble figuring out the shifts and finished one and two.
After lunch the wind shifted to the Northwest and we sailed to the South end of the lake in a 5-8mph breeze
to begin the second race. However, just before the start, the front came through and the winds increased
to 20+mph which caught most of us by surprise and alone. Bill Colburn and Paul Keppel who managed to pick-up
a crew just in time finished one and two. Noel Neuman somehow managed to hold on by himself for a third and
Dave Mott (with a 200 pounder he met 10 minutes before the start swimming in the lake) came in fourth.
The 3rd race of the day had almost everyone with a crew as the wind continued at 15-20mph. Bill Colburn led the
way and Dave Mott with his now “experienced” crew finished a close second.
Susan and Bill Kirkpatrick again hosted the Saturday night party as we all enjoyed fine Italian cuisine and
recalled the day’s excitement. Sunday morning arrived with very light and variable winds. We all decided to call
it day at 10:30 and award the trophies.
