MAISA Team Race Challenge

AP over A. Report time tomorrow will be 0830. 28 knot average wind with gusts to 40 knots from the NW, WNW with adverse current made the sea state unbearable for a Zodiac Hurricane let alone a collegiate dinghy. No races sailed.

Thank you to CHUMP Rob Overton, Sam Blouin, Dave Clinnin, Gary Knapp, Anne Mooney, Russell Pearson, and William Siener, our umpires, for their time.

Thanks to KP Waterfront Staff and Midshipmen for making an attempt at going sailing.

Racing started at 0915. We had a light west wind, which at times was below the wind minimum. Around 1145 the west wind built in strength ranging from 9-22kts. We finished RR1 and tried to start the double final 4 as per MAISA Team Race Challenge protocol. We were unable to finish even a single final 4 and called it off just before the 1500 deadline.

Final results were taken from the single RR. Upenn and GWU met in the unfinished Final Four with GWU winning. This race counted for a sail-off per ICSA procedural rules.

Thank you to all the regatta support team for an active day on the water.

Thank you to Rob Overton(CHUMP), Sam Blouin, Dave Clinnin, Anne Mooney, John Mooney and Russell Pearson for umpiring the event.

Congratulation to HWS and GWU for qualifying for The Prosser Trophy at KP on 4/11-12/2015.
