RACINGfect combination on a Thistle.“Abby’s brother, who is also a Thistler,” Dieball continued,“was getting married the final day of the nationals.Abby was the maid of honor but had to miss the weddingrehearsal dinner and the Thistles awards banquet in order tosail with us.”It is just one example of that great Thistle passion andfamily-oriented mindset that the class exhibits whereverthey hold a regatta.Second-place winner Mike Ingham’s boat caught fireminutes after he burned a line to seal it. The embers re-ignitedand four-foot flames melted the boom vang, burned thehiking strap, scorched the hull, and burned a hole in thepractice sail. Ten minutes later photos were posted on theThistle Facebook page, and Mike was renamed “Sparky”among several others. The class awarded him a special stop,drop and roll-tack T-shirt award at the banquet.Nicole Shedden, 28, of Cleveland, OH, received royaltreatment all week. One of three female skippers in thechampionship, and finishing 12th overall, Shedden did itwith a little extra something; She is six months pregnant.Although her husband had a conflict and couldn’t race, hermom filled in as crew. Her father and brother also ownThistles. Shedden is perhaps the first competitor at a nationalchampionship to compete in that condition. She was presentedwith a special Mom-to-Be gift basket at the awardsceremony and throughout the week was given extra attentiongiven the extreme heat conditions. “PYC took verygood care of us,” Shedden said.Nineteen-year-old Charlie Yingling of Cleveland, OH,sailed the 1960 wooden Thistle his grandfather, CharlieSteigerwald, owned when he won the 1972 ThistleNationals.A Thistler with a message, John Duckworth, has beenentertaining fellow sailors with his signal flag messagessince 1998. “I post a message at the end of racing daily,” hesmiled. “Sometimes it’s a challenge to say something creative,given the limited letters and numbers, but it’s fun.”For the championship, the week began with “All togethernow” and ended with “PYC Gr8 Job.” From all reports, hismessage was spot on.For complete results, go towww.pensacolayachtclub.orgUpcoming Regattas91st Annual Lipton Cup,Mandeville, LA, Sept. 3-5The Pontchartrain Yacht Club in Mandeville, LA, will hostthe 91st Annual Sir Thomas Lipton Cup Sept. 3-5.
