Stony Brook Fall Open

Summary

Saturday, October 5:

A beautiful summer like day in early Fall greeted everyone for the Stony Brook Fall Open. It was a perfect day for almost any outdoor activity, but unfortunately it was a bit difficult for sailing. That may be a bit of an understatement, as the predicted light to medium Northerly was present at the beginning and allowed us to do 3 A races. By the end of the 3rd A race, the breeze took a hard turn East and died significantly. What ensued was a journey around the harbor to get in 3 B races, ultimately ending up in the outer harbor where a light Northeasterly was still present. After a long sail back to rotate, even the breeze in the outer harbor began to fade and we tried to get something going in some patchy zephyrs closer to the yacht club before it became obvious we needed to go into a postponement. After about 20 minutes, a light Westerly materialized and built slightly. A division was sent back out and did 3 more races, with the wind dying again for during the 3rd race. Thankfully, as B division was rotating in, strips of breeze from the North/Northwest started to come down the harbor and the breeze filled in beautifully to a solid 10-12, allowing for 3 more B races in the best conditions of the day. Racing ended at 5:45pm. After a long day and a light forecast for Sunday, all teams agreed to complete the regatta on Saturday with 6 races for each division.

Congratulations to Fordham University for the regatta win in very challenging conditions! Thank you to all the visiting teams for coming and for being so patient with all the course moving! Also, huge thank you to alumni Morgan Bittmann'24 and Gerrit Bittmann'24 for volunteering their day to be RC!
