- Taken during the 2006 Nationals at Narrasketuck Yacht Club, this shows
#2376 Blon-Dee III and #738 Gumby (using second-hand sails)
moving along smartly in light winds. #2376 was bought new in 1972 by Art
Leiz, Mariner Class Measurer and official "Life Member" of the
Association, and he still owns and actively races her today. In this
regatta, however, Blon-Dee III was sailed by Art's two sons, Jim
and Arthur Leiz, and they would go on to place second in the rankings. Gumby,
another active racer, is owned by Tom and Michelle Green who scored an
impressive first-place finish in the President's Fleet the year before. |
