Women's Eastern National Semi Finals

Summary

Tuesday, May 20:

It was a tricky day to be race committee, but PRO Catherine Shanahan did a tremendous job running races when they could be run and not running them when they shouldn't. Breeze started from the North, shifted to NE, then Southeast, West and back to NE before the day was done. 3A & 2B races were completed with one protest hearing involving damage between two boats that didn't see one another in between races that was ultimately dismissed. Lots of photos and video recap of the day will be posted on CollegeSailing.org site.

As the sun sets on two days of competition on the St. Mary’s River, the 2025 College Sailing Women’s Fleet Race National Championship Final fleet is set and there’s a sense of déjà vu in the air with all but two teams returning to finals from last year and familiar favorites reemerging.

Despite the change in venue, different conditions, and a disparate set of schools for the semi-finals, three teams find themselves in the same scenario a year apart.

In a repeat of their semi-final performances last year on the Charles River, the Yale University women won the Western division, while Stanford and Cornell University teams again went first and second in the Eastern division.

“I’m really excited to be here with my team,” said Cornell senior skipper Bridget Green. “Going into my fourth and last finals is bittersweet but we are so prepared and ready to compete.”

As the scores reset ahead of racing tomorrow the question is whether history will repeat itself
