SCOW Members,
Thought you might be interested in this event that happened during yesterday's Leukemia Cup Regatta. You'll have to give the crew of Sabrina a pat on the back for the great job they did in redering assistance.
See you on the water,

Subject: Sabrina Renders Assistance to Small Boat Taking on Water - Leukemia Cup, Race 1
After Split Decision rounded Marker 9 during the first race the crew of a small sailboat with a black hull (do not know name) was waving to us for help. By the time we took down our sails Sabrina and crew were already rendering assistance. The small sailboat and Sabrina were blown 150 ft West of marker 9 (toward the airport) into very shallow water. The water was very choppy with 20-25 knot winds. We ran soft aground trying to provide redundancy to the help effort. We made several radio calls to let the committee boat and fleet know what was happening. Sabrina was very persistent in those conditions and somehow got a line to the small boat and was towing her to safety and hopefuly home when we started motoring back the starting line.
Hats off to Sabrina and crew for putting themselves in peril to help another boat.
