Eighteen races were completed this weekend in superb conditions on the Charles River. The heat of Saturday gave way to a brisk NE breeze at 12-15 knots on Sunday. A division started racing in FJs and then switched into technical dinghies after race 8. B Division started in techs and switched into FJs. Courses on Saturday were Course 4 with an offset and leeward gate. Sunday brought the ‘triple gate special’ with windward and leeward gates and a mid-course gate on the upwind legs as well.
Congrats to the Salve Regina Seahawks who eked out a victory over the host school by 2 points after 36 races. Eric Decesare '11 and Hope Dingeman '14 dominated A Division for the Seahawks with 7 bullets in 18 races. Steve Drapcho ’13 combined with Mark Van De Loo ’13 on Saturday and Jillian Reddy ’11 on Sunday to win B Division for the MIT Beavers.
Matt Lindblad from MIT along with Tom Robinson from Brandeis and Derek Mess from Wellesley helped out with race management on Saturday and Franny Charles ran the races on Sunday.
