Racing began at 10:45 after a short delay to allow the gusts to drop below 30 knots. 43 races were sailed in WNW-NW 10-25 knots. There were two black flag hearings. In race 28, there was serious damage to FJ #17, resulting in 1 win deducted from Navy. In race 41, FRD #8 had 2 points added for advantage gained, however only 1 point added is reflected in the scores for that race. There was 1 request for redress in race 20 for a broken hiking strap line, which was granted, and will be re-sailed first thing Sunday. Thank you to our umpire team and Monarchs who ran the event on sea and land.
Racing began at 9:30 with the re-sail of race 20 in NNW 10-14 knots. Round 2 followed and was completed as the the wind became light and unstable.
Time would not allow for a triple round robin, so a top 6 round was started. 4 races into the top 6 round, the effort was abandoned at 2:45 due lack of time remaining to complete a partial round (80%).
Thank you to Norfolk Yacht and Country Club for lending umpire boats, and to the Umpire team: Christine Accetella (ChUmp), Carter Little, Jeff Borland, Sandy Grovsner, Vicki Sodaro, Steve Sparkman(Sun.), Jerry Thompson, Jeremy Herrin, Anna Patterson (Sat.) and Alex Kitay. Congratulations to the Georgetown Hoyas for qualifying for 2024 ICSA Open Team Race National Championships.
