2025 Florida Trophy

Summary

Saturday, March 22:

Eight teams arrived at the University of South Florida's St. Petersburg campus to compete for the Florida Trophy. Three teams fielded double entries, so there was a total of eleven boats on the line. With the light, 6-7 knot ENE winds forecast to die in the early afternoon, racing was underway by 10:00am.

Three A division races were conducted in short order, and then B division rotated in. Racing was halted for nearly an hour during the B division set as a research vessel towing a submersible slowly departed Bayboro Harbor. The winds held long enough for another two light-air A division races, but then B division was once again in an hour-long holding pattern while the promised west sea breeze fought the prevailing easterly. Finally the sea breeze triumphed and the final two B division races were sailed in shifty 7-8 knot winds.

Ten races were completed, all W4's or W5's, averaging 15 minutes in length.

Congratulations to Jacksonville University for their victory, and many thanks to all competitors for their patience during the delays.
