MASSA Team Race Championship

Saturday morning started off with a West North West breeze at about 5-10 knots with some oscillations to the North until the breeze stayed there. We sailed in a North North West breeze for a majority of the day before the Southerly had us completely turn around the course where we finished Round 1 at about 1715. It was a long day of racing with full on the water rotations, but the sailors/coaches did a great job working through it.

Our Umpire crew of Thomas Walker, Tyler Mowry, Lydia McPherson and Travis Carlisle did a great job keeping the rotations moving and rotating the course throughout the day, while Greg Cukor and Erik Wold did a phenomenal job with getting the races off in a timely manner. We had David Clinnin and Junior sailor Ella Chasse running the finish boat and scoring today.

Overall to end the day after round 1, we have Severn School in 1st, Christchurch in 2nd and Norfolk Academy in 3rd.

Sunday started out with a light breeze from the East South East and slowly built to the South until we had a steady 12-16 knots of breeze. This made for some great team racing as we were able to get in the entire top 6 bottom 4 round and almost got through the Final 4. We had to run the Christchurch/Severn race to avoid a tie which was a battle from start to finish.

Thank you to all of our Race Committee, umpires and sailors for helping run this event.

Final Standings; Christchurch 1st place, Severn 2nd place, and Norfolk Academy 3rd place.
