Last Splash Regatta

Report on the Hoover Last Splash Regatta held at Hoover Sailing Club in Westerville, Ohio, with 12 boats competing in six races. Kyle Finefrock and Cole Finefrock with Joe Goetz won, with Tom Hubbell second and Adam Gilbertson third. The author humorously describes the mishaps of forgetting the centerboard and jib sheets, creative rigging solutions, and a competitive tacking duel with Charlie Yingling. Lake Erie Fall Series statistics show 9 qualifying regattas with 48 unique skippers and 111 unique crew.
