2004 (XXXVIII ANNUAL) DON Q RUM KEG SNIPE REGATTA
March 18-19, 2004
Augie Diaz and Kathleen Tocke won the 38th Annual Don Q Regatta edging Scott Nixon and Brian Janney by only 3.25 points. This is one of the best-attended Don Q Regattas with 49 snipes registered and with the participation of several boats from Norway, Sweden and the Bahamas.
We had winds from the Northeast on Friday around 15 knots with 3 perfect races with Olympic courses being conducted by the race committee. At the return to the dock everybody was pleased with the day of racing, except a couple of old men complaining about too many races in one day! Do we have to live with these guys?
On Saturday winds picked up quite a bit from the East blowing 17 to 20 knots. It looked like it picked up more for the second race, however 32 boats out of the 49 completed the last race and the same two old men dropped out of the second race. We have to give some credit to them: they sailed the first race! The race committee set up triangle courses (T Flag) for the two races and it looks like everybody stayed up! We had some fantastic reaches! With such heavy air championship, it was hard to understand why everybody had smiles on their faces! The smiles continued after the DON Q RUM KEG PARTY and the CUBAN DINNER that took place organized by Carmen Diaz and her team. The party and the dinner fully enjoyed by the competitors and the Race Committee members.
It was a great regatta and we have to give kudos to the Race Committee headed by Bruce Schneider with the help of the SCIRA Rep Phil Richmond and with CGSC members and friends including gunners: the Miami Beach Police Officer and Bill Beaver.
After trophy awarding by the CGSC Vice-Commodore Jack Hamm, the Snipes headed for home or the next regatta with many comments about returning next year. One more Don Q, the 38th and we are heading towards the 40th in a couple of years!
