HOT FLASH, TWICE

Mike Robinson sailed Hot Flash to twin victories in two races Sunday sponsored by the Roanoke Island Yacht Club.

Robinson was first across the starting line in his 28-foot Pierson in the first race and never lost his lead. He won a tacking duel to take first in the second race, a makeup of a postponed race earlier in the summer.

Second in both races was Shawn Murphy in Seabird, a Hunter 30. Third was claimed both times by George Kendall in his 29-foot Alberg, Liberty Call. by CNB
