SAISA Fall Open Championship

Summary

Saturday, October 29:

Early in the afternoon, following the conclusion of the SAISA Fall Women's Championship, SAISA's Open Championship kicked off with 18 teams from four states in the southeast. The field included some of the country's top collegiate sailors. In the afternoon, despite the occasional lull, the breeze built and then held steady allowing solid competition that went on past sunset. As darkness fell, the fleet returned to the dock having completed six races per division. On the race course, the College of Charleston put up a flurry of first place finishes (four in twelve races), but also had a DSQ that knocked them out of first place. Miami was ready to capitalize and moved into first place and “slept on the lead.” The field was tightly bunched field - just 23 points separated the 'Canes in 1st place from NC State in 6th place. Scoring was tight further down the leaderboard as well.

Sunday, October 30:

A mid morning lull gave way to steady breezes of 5 to 7 knots. The competition - particularly in A fleet - was stiff. Mark roundings were crowded and tightly contested. Rollins' boat house on Lake Virginia proved to be a suitable base camp for a large gathering of college sailors. The regatta's two divisions sailed five races each and called it quits at 3:30. On the scoreboard, Charleston continued to put up good numbers with top-3 finishes in 6 of ten races. However, the DSQs continued to plague them, and they finished second in the regatta. Miami was able to hold its lead and won the day with Jacksonville, Florida State and Eckerd rounding out the top-5. Congratulations to all on a successful fall season!
