On Sunday, May 31st, races started at approximately 1000 hours. In the morning, winds were out of the Northwest direction and were light with sporadic 30-degree shifts. Wind speeds were 4 knots to 5 knots and then dropped to 2 knots to 3 knots. In the afternoon, there was a notable 180-degree shift and parts of patchiness. This resulted in the first race for the B division to be deemed unfair, constituting a restart. The wind speed increased later in the day to 8 knots to 9 knots, a strong end to a great series of races this weekend!. Throughout the day, the weather was sunny with blue skies, and temperatures were in the mid-70s, a beautiful day out on the Chesapeake Bay! The last race of the day ended at 1354 hours (1:54 PM), and the AYC Race Committee boat docked at 1413 hours (2:13 PM). The AYC Race Committee had completed 3 races in both A & B Divisions with a total of 6 races completed for the day. 1 protest was filed on the water with the signal boat and heard on land, resulting in 1 DSQ. Overall, there was a total of 26 races in both A & B Divisions completed over the course of the weekend.

Racers continued to demonstrate strong sportsmanship on their second day of racing, each team displaying great integrity on the water. Congratulations to all competitors for a successful weekend of sailing in the 2026 Phebe Corckran King Memorial Regatta! Annapolis Yacht Club would once again like to thank our sister club, Severn Sailing Association, for allowing us to use their facilities to do rotations this weekend. And once again, another big shout-out to Randall Nunn and Jason Lutz for managing rotations and land logistics as the ISSA Representatives.
