On the Lafayette River, the regatta enjoyed clear skies, warm fall temps, and seas with a 6-9" chop. The wind was initially very squirrelly NW at 5-8 mph with significant oscillations and gusts 2-3 mph higher. We had a short on the water postponement around 11:00 during a lull and wind shift to N., then building and settling in fairly steady at NE from 13-15mph with gusts generally in the high teens and occasionally the low 20's.
Sixteen teams from 9 schools competed on a W-4 course completing 6 races in each division. Christchurch School Team 1 ran away with first place with just 19 points. They were followed by Hampton Roads Academy Team 1 in second place with 52 points. Norfolk Collegiate Team 1 finished in third place with 64 points.
This regatta also served as the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools Championship (TCIS). Ranks relevant to fellow TCIS comprised the finishes for the 5 TCIS schools. Hampton Roads Academy took first place in TCIS. Norfolk Collegiate is the second place, and Norfolk Academy took third place in TCIS competition.
Thanks to Trent Shaw for serving as PRO and running a successful regatta.
