NY Maritime Fall Open

Day 1 was a battle for breeze. We attempted our first race at 10:30am after a short postponement then abandoned as breeze died out. Postponed ashore until 1:00pm when we got three A races and two B races completed. When the NNE fill was there it averaged about 4-6knots. Breeze died out again as it battled the southerly sea breeze at 3:45pm and we called the day at 4:00pm. Current largely tracked W>E today but swapped around for the final A race. The Maritime Society's Monomoy Races were running today as well, so there was plenty of entertainment during the postponements!

An early morning light southerly switched to a decent SW breeze averaging 5-7knts until it died fighting the afternoon sea breeze. Big kudos to all the teams working through the current as Race Committee executed quick course adjustments and ran competitive races in the conditions that were present. Three protests were heard today, one thrown out, two resulting in DSQs. Well done to Coast Guard for winning the NY Maritime Fall Open, thank you to everyone for coming out to the Bronx for the weekend! Big shoutout to our awesome Race Committee, Mark Boats, Shore Crew, Scoring, and ICSA Rep (WAC Coach, Evan) for making this a great weekend even in trying conditions.
