Great Lakes Qualifier - East

A great long day of racing on Cleveland Harbor! Rain and fog held over from Friday night until about 10:15am, with breeze at 10-12W. Racing started promptly at 9:45am, and 12 races were completed in each division before calling it a day at 6:00pm.

Numerous protests were heard, resulting in a few DSQs. See scores.

A huge thank you to Nancy Zangerle, Mary Cay Tylee, and Mike Vining for judging!

Racing will begin promptly at 9:45am tomorrow.

Racing began on time at 9:45 with race 13A. Breeze filled from due south at 5-8kts, with massive oscillations and velocity changes. Velocity steadily dropped throughout the day, although some huge shifts brought occasional fresh pressure. 6 races in each division were completed to finish the rotation with a few minutes to spare before the 3pm cutoff. No protests were heard.

Congratulations to Grosse Ile for winning handily, qualifying them for ACCs and the Great Lakes Championship. The top 5 teams also qualified for the Great Lakes Championship.

1 - Grosse Ile (153) 2 - Spring Lake (184) 3 - St. Ignatius (203) 4 - Grosse Pointe South (243) 5 - Westerville North (259)

Thank you to the wonderful volunteers on mark boats today, who kept up with rapidly changing conditions with ease, as well as PHASTAR for providing on-water safety and medical support.
