Duplin Women's Team Race

The 38th Joseph R. Duplin Women's team race regatta got underway after 11:30 in light air. Under an overcast sky in 40 degree temps the wind blew from the NNE most of the day. A 40 minute rain event killed the wind for a short postponement, otherwise all 45 races would have been completed. Only six races were run after the postponement leaving nine remaining in round one.

Many thanks to undergrads Bobby McLaughlin and Julien Guiot in the finish boat, and Nick Giacobbe and Emma Clutterbuck on scoring and shore crew. The Tufts women's team supplied chili for (nearly) all. Also thanks to (former and temp) Dartmouth coach John Pierce for hearing a few protests. One protest between Stanford and Harvard will be heard Sunday morning.

The intended format for Sunday is to finish the round robin (9 races) followed by a bottom four round (6 races), followed by a top six round (15 races).

PRO: Ken

All 66 races were completed, including the bottom four and top 6 round robins as planned. Wind was from the east at 5 to 13. Thanks to Aaron Klein, Nick Giacobbe, and Jackson McCoy for scoring and running the finish boat, and special shoutout to Nick for coming both days.

Congratulations to Yale for their win, going 12 - 2.
