Sailors arrived to Old Dominion University to a shifty 6-9 knot westerly and were able to fire off races right away. Throughout the day the breeze slowly tapered off and shifted to the right, ending up in a Northerly. The ILCA 7's completed 5 races, the ILCA 6 Women completed 4 and had a 5th called off when the wind died. The ILCA 6 Men completed 4 races. Racing was called for the day at 4pm. Forecast for tomorrow looks to be 8-10 from the ENE so we're looking forward to getting as much racing in before 3pm as possible.
Thank you to our PRO Ethan Tutt '23, our Chief Judge Jerry Thompson, our other judge Makalynne Dyer, as well as all the ODU Sailors who helped out with race management.
Sailors arrived to Old Dominion University to glassy water, the tide completely out and not a cloud in the sky. The wind started to build around 1030 and settled in to the NE around 1100. With the NE wind, RC decided to run 2 race sets, with a W4 to start and a W3 at the end to allow sailors to get to the (not so) floating docks for coaching. Throughout the day, race officials battled 50 degree shifts as the breeze steadily marched to the right. Despite having to moving to constantly move marks to keep up with the shifts, all fleets completed 5 races before the 1500 cut off time.
One protest was heard in ILCA 6 Boys race 9 resulting in a DSQ
