10 teams from 7 VISA schools gathered on the Lafayette River for the Team Race Championship under overcast skies with just a little bit of rain midday. Shifty light winds with gusts to 10mph initially presented east of north East of North and clocked to true northeast by the end of the regatta. Seas were flat.
Initially the top 7 seeded teams completed a full round robin interwoven with the 3 round robins for the bottom 3 seeded teams. Teams were then ranked and reseeded into locked rank groups consisting of top 4, middle 4, and bottom 2. The top 4 round, middle 4 round and three bottom 2 matches were interwoven and completed. See attached rotation on the notice board for actual order of races. Final rankings are based on scores from the last rounds only.
Christchurch School Team 2 took first place with 8 wins and one loss, followed by Christchurch School Team 1 in second place, and Norfolk Collegiate Team 1 in third place.
Greatest thanks to Ann Stokes and Phil Purrington and all of the VISA volunteers for running the races.
