A beautiful day greeted sailors on the Chesapeake Bay for this year's Shield's Trophy. Ten teams competed in sunny skies, 80 degree temperature and 8-13 knot northerly/ENE winds. The race committee completed 4 races with tight racing. At the end of the day, half the fleet is still in contention for winning the regatta.
Fair winds and weather greeted the competitors again for day 2 of the Shields Trophy. Three races were held in challenging conditions of 6-8 knot shifting northerly breezes. The Charleston Cougars remained the most consistent team throughout the regatta to finish the regatta in first place. Big thanks go out to PRO Nelson Pemberton, Chief Judge Dan Trammel, and the many volunteers and midshipmen who made the regatta a success.
