2007 Finn Nationals - Gull Lake, Michigan

The weekend was wonderful with the exception of the wind...which was pretty non-existant throughout the Midwest. But this is Pleasantville, USA and you don't necessarily need the wind in order to have fun.

Jon Vandermolen and his team at GLYC did a great job of making sure everything that he could take care of was handled with precision, including the fully stocked bar they set up to greet the sailors upon arrival of Saturday's racing!

In the end, Andy Casey won the Nationals showing amazing consistency in very trying winds. Second went to Geoff Ewenson, with Don Jesberg 3rd, Andy Kern 4th and Tad Springer 5th. Winning 2 of the 4 races was Darrell Peck who had to carry a DNF from race 2.

I am sure the Finn sailors will be back. The hospitality of Jon and his team have made this event legendary!
