The sixth annual Cowan Scowin regatta was blessed with ideal fall sailing conditions on our southwest Ohio lake. Temperatures both days were in the mid sixties under sunny skies. The wind blew from the North at 6 to 10 on Saturday and 8 to 12 on Sunday. All races were windward leeward 2.5s.

Ted Keller from Hoover won all 4 races on Saturday although the rest of the fleet had a scare when Doug Fisher, a Thistle sailor, placed second in Race #1 in a borrowed boat.

Bob Rowland from Sailor's Tailor also sailed a borrowed boat using a Rowland sail. He wasn't happy with the shape so he recut it Saturday night. Sunday he said it was closer but still needed a little tweaking. When he gets this sail perfected maybe we will have another option when it comes time for a new sail.

Sunday morning saw Phil Weiler from Cowan Lake, last year's champ, winning Race #5 and Jack Sanderson from Hoover winning the last race. Overall Champ and proud possessor of the Cowbutt award was Ted Keller. He also won the Ohio Champion award that goes to the person who has the best combined score for Cowan Scowin and the Hoover regatta. Since he also won Hoover, the math wasn't too tricky. Judy Hearn from Cowan was top female and Carl Pratt was first master.
