/Between 170 and 180 people packed the Chicago Yacht Club Belmont Station on December 6th for the annual Chicago T10 Fleet 2 awards and year end party. This annual celebration of Chicago T10 sailing serves to close out and recap another year of fantastic racing on the water and great times on shore after racing. For the second year in a row, Erica swept the boat of the year series, winning the buoy, port-to-port and the overall. Retention took 2nd in the port-to-port and overall series and was prevented from a second year sweep of second place when Meat squeezed by them for 2nd place in the buoy series. The tightest competition was in the port-to-port series, where 3rd through 7th place was separated by 7 points. The party committee put on another fantastic event, highlighted by the T10 timeline, which showed how the fleet’s boats had changed names throughout the 40+ year history of the fleet.

/Brian Kaczor captured the 23-boat Tartan 10 fleet in his boat, Erica. Kaczor has been racing his boat since 2005, but claims his current crew is the best he’s ever had. “Everyone put a ton of work into the boat over the winter, which really made the difference this weekend,” Kaczor says.
Kaczor added that a mix of good tactics, boatspeed, and crewwork made all the difference yesterday. “It was pretty tough because the wind and the waves didn’t match up,” says Kaczor. “We were quick to adjust our sail trim and put the boat where we needed on the racecourse. The race committee did a great job keeping things fair, so hat’s off to them working us through the tough conditions.”
