Ike Geiger Team Race Regatta

Summary

Saturday, March 16:

A gnarly WNW breeze promised exciting conditions bordering on epic at times. The turbo FJs were rigged with the smaller 'gold standard' mainsails and storm jibs. There were spectacular wipe outs all day as the breeze tried to work right into the NW but the stubborn westerly just kept hammering back. The anemometer had wind speed at a constant 25-35 knots with gusts to 42.

The Rhody Rams had a spectacular day minimizing their swimming and ended the round with a 6-1 record followed by the home team Engineers with The Terriers and Brown Bears just behind them. Special thanks go to Coach Mike Kalin who was rescuing swimmers and assisting capsized sailors all day long. Members of the sailing team- Zoe Lallas, Maile Jin, Charles Lindsay, & David Morejon assisted with scoring and finishing the 28 races over 10 flights.

More action tomorrow...

Sunday, March 17:

Much more sedate conditions were welcomed by the eight teams at the Geiger Trophy today. The larger 'blue ribbon' sails were used along with full sized jibs on the lively Whitecap Composite FJs. Non-stop sailing with no swimming let the sailors work through a second complete round robin.

The Rhody Rams had their Irish on as they dominated the day again and came away with a win over the tough fighting Terriers from BU. MIT filled out the remainder of the podium followed by the Huskies from Northeastern.

Many thanks to MIT Coach Mike Kalin for expertly tweaking buoys as the westerly and northerly breeze cells fought and mixed over the tricky Charles River. David Alfonso recorded and entered scores all day long.
