For those of you who haven't heard, the winner of Jimmy Spithill's generous offer to sail on the Oracle AC-45 in San Francisco was Jack Reiter! While many of us were riding a desk on Tuesday, Jack was holdin' on for dear life on the back beam of an America's Cup cat and doing Mach-Schnell across San Francisco bay! First he's immortalized in Bronze at our front gate sculpture and now this?... c'mon!
Jack was awarded this opportunity by winning the drawing held at the conclusion of our summer program. Raffle tickets were earned by all Jr. Program participants for doing various things in conjunction with our Summer Program. Participating in race-days, helping out and other associated things earned a ticket and at the end of the session, all the tickets were loaded into the bowl and Jack's name came out with the pick. Congratulations Jack and let's hit Vegas together next month.
Off to Catalina for the Long Point Regatta (won’t see you around the club this weekend)!
