Southern 5

Racing began on the Great Salt Pond around 12:15pm after light conditions transformed into a cold, shifty sea breeze from the south. Wind directions varied from W to SE before noon but eventually settled as a SSE breeze ranging from 5-10 kts with multiple 5-20 degree shifts that kept the race committee busy throughout the afternoon. One protest was heard and consequently disallowed. All races were predominantly W6’s, with a few W4’s. Racing will commence tomorrow morning with a 9:30am reporting time, in the hopes of completing 8 races before 3pm.

Racing today began in a light SE breeze that clocked right into a more stable SW that ranged from 5-12 kts. 8 races were sailed that were a mixture of W6’s and W4’s. One BKD was awarded, resulting in a tiller/rudder replacement. Thanks to URI sailing alum Matthew Gibbs ‘17 and current URI sailors Christopher Pearson ‘20 and Max Hooker ‘22 for volunteering to RC. Congrats to URI Rams 1 for the win and to their division A sailors Matthew Schryver ‘19 / Samantha Hamilton ‘19 for winning all combined divisions.

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.
