On Mill Creek in Hampton, VA the air temp reached barely over 50 degrees, and the water was rather flat. The morning was quit overcast. The wind was initially 2-6 mph ENE with moderate fog and lulls resulting in a few postponements on the water. It then clocked to steady east mid morning with the fog lifting and building to 10 mph by the time sailing concluded mid-afternoon. A bit of sun poked through in the early afternoon but the venue was then completely socked in with heavy fog just as the sailors arrived at the dock.
Eighteen teams of sailors from 10 schools competed on a W-4 course. Due to postponements and the risk of not completing the event, A division initially completed 3 races, then B sailed 4 races, and A came back out for a fourth race.
First place was captured by Christchurch School Team 1 with an impressive 10 points, followed by Christchurch School Team 2 in second with 27 points. Closely following in third place was Norfolk Academy Team 1 with 30 points.
Sincere thanks goes to Alan Mason for serving as PRO, and to the rest of the race committee. Thanks also goes to the Hampton City Schools sailors and parents who welcomed sailors and provided significant support on land, and to the Christchurch sailors who did a last minute boat launch and rigging for the event.

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.
