NESSA Championship / O'Day Trophy

The Sunday of racing on the Thames River began with a puffy Northerly and hopeful high school sailors hit the water at 10:00. As the morning progressed the wind gradually tapered off as the out-flowing current increased. Current management became the theme of the morning before a mid-regatta lunch break after 4A and 4B. After lunch, the majority of a seamless set was sailed before the breeze began to become uncertain. Low cumulonimbus clouds added depth before a bluebird background and brought consistent breeze when they massed above the course. The current remained prevalent as the final set began around 2:00 pm. Large holes on the race course and a 3:00 pm start deadline coupled to end the regatta after seven races sailed in each division.

Congratulations to The Hotchkiss School for winning the regatta.

Thanks to Cyrus Unvala, PRO, and his crew of CGA Cadets, Kayla Ellis, Christi Frost, Josh Moan and Brad Brown, for running the entirety of the regatta.

The following chart shows the relative rank of the teams as of the race indicated. Note that the races are ordered by number, then division, which may not represent the order in which the races were actually sailed.

The first place team as of a given race will always be at the top of the chart. The spacing from one team to the next shows relative gains/losses made from one race to the next. You may hover over the data points to display the total score as of that race.
