Wonderful sailing conditions on the Charles River were on tap for 3 divisions of competitors in a random south, southwest breeze of 8-14 knots. Yale put on a show of excellent boat handling, starting, and sniffing out the big shifts. Charleston and Tufts are next but there is a pack of schools anxious to put some single digits together tomorrow. Lots of racing with Stan Schreyer from BU and Fran Charles from MIT sharing the RC duties along with the legend Hatch Brown himself.
Volunteers from BU assisting were Zachary Vickerson and Simon Bertocci in the finish boat. Taking turns on tech score from MIT were Clementine Mirchell, Ty Ingram, Laura Dunphy, Greta Farrell. Wally Corwin assisted on dock duties and Jeff Dusek heard two breakdown requests.
