Fifteen teams from NYISA-NW, NJISA, MDISA, and VISA arrived at Sailing Center Chesapeake on a morning described by all forecasts as 'calm'. Around 11am, a light North breeze moved in and the Race Committee led by PRO JR Johnson completed one A division race. The breeze died off but filled in from the South around noon, and slowly built through the afternoon to 8-10kts by the time racing concluded for the day at 4:30pm.
Ten races were completed and one protest was heard by VISA coaches Gary Bodie and Charlie Brewer. The forecast for tomorrow is 4-8kts from the South. Race Committee hopes to add four races per division.
On Sunday morning the forecast South breeze did fill in, at 11am. Due to the delayed start time RC decided to run two 3-race rotations to complete the regatta with 8 races per division. With only a few windward mark movements to accommodate some up-course wind shifts, racing completed without a hitch with the final finish occurring almost exactly at 2pm.
Congratulations to the Leonardtown Raiders, Severn Admirals, and Great Mills Hornets for taking the podium this weekend, and an extra shoutout to Annapolis Panthers' B sailors for taking the division win with a solid scoreline today.
Thanks to the RC team for the weekend including PRO JR Johnson and RC boat suppliers Jon and Cindy Stevenson; mark boat drivers Tom Labor, Mike Sullivan, and Rich Rutkowski; shore support Caitlin Szymendera and Ryan Aaron; and to the MDISA sailors for handling the derigging of extra boats to allow the NYISA-NW competitors to hit the road on their trek back north.
The sportsmanship and camaraderie among competitors was really encouraging to see this weekend, and Sailing Center Chesapeake hopes to host many similar events in the future!
