Eric Johnson, driving at right, and crew Levi White won the Northwest Sea Scout Sailing Championship on Saturday, June 27, in a regatta sailed in FJ dinghies at Sail Sand Point. The regatta was hosted by Sea Scout Ship Corinthian, which is affiliated with CYC. Johnson and White scored five bullets in six races to lead three other teams and win the regatta trophy, the Kelly Cup, qualifying them to sail for the national Sea Scout championship next summer in New London, Conn. Johnson is now a two-time winner of the Kelly Cup, and competed with White in the nationals last year in Annapolis. In the photo below with Johnson, center right, and White are Horton Smith, left, Commodore of Sea Scouts for the Chief Seattle Council, Boy Scouts of America, and CYC Staff Commodore Bill Lieberman, who organized the regatta. CYC member Wil Anderson chaired the race committee, and Jim Miller used a CYC Whaler to set marks for the racers.
