Update: Cushing and Ellie are spearheading the showdown, now set for SUNDAY, Sept. 6 at 1:00. Ellie is challenging all comers to best her on her pink Sunfish. If you're on the list of Saturday Sunfish racers (see old article and list below) you'll have first dibs to get a boat and take her on! Otherwise Sunfish are first come, first served.
________________________________________________
We've had seventeen different sailors or teams come out to race Sunfish this season and really mix it up -- to the point that there is no clear leader! So next Saturday, on the last day of Saturday racing , we will have a Sunfish Showdown to determine the winner for the season. As they say on TV, "it's still anybody's game!" And it could be yours if you compete on Saturday.
If you raced a Sunfish any of the Saturday's this year (your name is listed below), you are automatically invited to compete in the Showdown, and we are reserving a Sunfish for you. If you do not claim your entry by 1:00 on Sunday, we will open up the Showdown to anyone who wants to try to capture a season championship in a single day. So anyone who wants to give it a shot, be at the dock by 1:00 to dibs your Sunny!
Here's the list of participants who have shown up to race Sunfish this year in Saturday racing, and who get priority participation in the Sunfish Showdown:
| Cooper Richmond |
| Cob Ingalls |
| Jack Skinner |
| Asher MacDonald |
| Bruce Chafee |

| Luke Ingalls |
| Rex Littlefield |
| Nate Taylor |
| Margot Littlefield |
| Holly Taylor |
| Sophie DenUyl |
| Will, Kevin and Joe Gallagher |

If you're not on the list, come on down anyway! You'll probably get a chance to be crowned this year's Sunfish Champion!
