Small Keelboat Scrimmage Promotional U. S. Naval Academy April 11-12, 2008 final results
Regatta highlights
Saturday It was about the wackiest day of sailing one could imagine on the Severn River off the Naval Academy today. Breeze came from all directions with little rhyme or reason, shut off, filled in, spun a 360 or two etc... Rain, fog, sunshine, even some lightning and thunder....there was something for everyone. The race committee persevered and managed to complete three races for the fleet of nine teams sailing aboard Navy's Colgate 26s. At the end of the day, Coast Guard's excellent form was rewarded with a 1, 3, 1 to claim the top spot on the leader board. Loyola College is 2 points back in 2nd with a 3, 2, 2 while Navy is another 2 points back in 3rd with a 2, 1, 6.
Sunday With northwesterly breeze between 7 and 15 knots, today provided superb conditions for the 9 teams competing in the Navy Spring Keelboat Promotional Regatta. PRO LT Joe McGettigan completed 4 windward/leeward, twice around races averaging 45 minutes each to round out the regatta..
Coast Guard continued their dominating form, winning all four races to win the regatta. Navy also displayed consistently good form carding four 2nd place finishes and moving into second position overall for the regatta. Duke moved up to third.
A huge thanks to all the Midshipmen who assisted in running the event as well as our tireless R/C volunteers Dick Morin and Frieda Wildey. Thanks also to Joan Morin and her NASS volunteers for hosting a cookout for all competitors yesterday following racing.
Lastly, thanks to all the competing teams for sailing with us at Navy!
Boats: Colgate 26
