Drexel Open

Ten races were sailed on Saturday starting at 1015 and ending at 1715. The breeze in the morning was typical of the Delaware River, blowing primarily from the east and oscillating all day from the SE to NE with a current pushing the teams every race far below the starting line. Teams who were able to manage the current and read the shifts prevailed all day. The breeze continued to build to a sustained 11 kts as frequent gusts were coming down the river at max 20 kts. A mix of W4s and W3s were sailed throughout the day.

The remaining six races were sailed on Sunday which completed the rotation. Conditions were almost identical to Saturday only the lulls were more dramatic. Again, a mix of W4s and W3s were sailed throughout the day. A huge thank you to all attending teams for a weekend of great racing and to the Drexel Dragons for putting on such a good event. Congratulations to Ocean County College for winning the Drexel Open.

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.
