This trophy honors Toni Deustch, MIT class of 1958, who was the first female varsity letter winner at MIT and a fiercely competitive sailor. Toni broke down barriers for women in intercollegiate sailing and legend has it that the MIT team even drove home from Annapolis on Saturday and refused to race because Toni was not allowed to compete at the Academy. Toni has been an enthusiastic supporter of the sailing team and MIT athletics as a whole, including serving as the chair of the alumni association. Toni, along with MIT Women's Sailing Coach Stew Nelson and others, helped blaze a trail that ultimately led to New England organizing NEWISA-the all women's sailing association that ultimately became the vibrant women's collegiate sailing scene that we enjoy today.
We were postponed ashore until about 1pm, when a light SE wind filled. Temps in the 70's and sunny skies. The wind settled into the SSE at 3-6 knots. 6 races were completed in each division before conditions worsened and racing was called at 5pm.
One request for breakdown was not granted.
Thanks to PRO Joe Fava BC '01 and Jeremy Fraser for their help on the water and MIT dockmaster Dan Tucker for help ashore. Cori Radtke from Bowdoin was the NEISA rep.

The following chart shows the relative rank of the teams as of the race indicated. Note that the races are ordered by number, then division, which may not represent the order in which the races were actually sailed.
The first place team as of a given race will always be at the top of the chart. The spacing from one team to the next shows relative gains/losses made from one race to the next. You may hover over the data points to display the total score as of that race.
