Today's forecast for the Annapolis area of the Chesapeake Bay unfortunately proved to be quite accurate; not enough wind to hold any races..
PRO Paul Clissold and his RC team did all they could to make something happen but it just wasn't to be. With an improved wind forecast for tomorrow, the RC is hoping to get three or more races Racing will start 30 minutes earlier tomorrow<<
The 10 team fleet competing for the 2022 McMillan Cup was greeted with much better conditions today with NNE winds in the 13-18 knot range throughout the day.
After losing yesterday to no wind, PRO Paul Clissold moved the start time up 30 minutes this morning to maximize the number of races he could run. The ideal conditions allowed four windward/leeward races to be run.
The course was set southeast of Tolly Point and featured a heavy ebb current that slowly tapered off during races 3 and 4.
The University of Rhode Island Rams sailed a smart and consistent regatta, getting off the line clean each race to post scores of 2,1,1,2 and claim victory. Kings Point were a close second scoring 1,3,3,1 while Navy was less consistent with finishes of 5,2,5,3 to take third. College of Charleston was super consistent with three 4ths but one poor race to finish fourth.
