Central Fall Qualifier

Warm, sunny weather with temperatures in the mid 80's met the sailors for day 1 of the Central Fall Qualifier. Unfortunately, the wind did not. With light and variable winds, the regatta was postponed until winds built to 10-12 knots with gusts to 15 knots out of the south at around 11:45. The first race started at noon. Thanks to an efficient race committee a total of 6 races were sailed in each division. No protests were filed on Saturday. Leading the regatta at the end of Saturday is U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in first, followed by University of Pennsylvania and St. Mary's College in second and third respectively. Thank you to Shrewsbury Sailing and Yacht Club and all the volunteers for helping make the first day of racing a success!

Sunday started with better wind conditions than Saturday. Winds were out of the north blowing 11-12 knots with gusts to 17 knots. Racing started at 9:30 AM and continued until around noon when winds shifted towards the east and caused a course adjustment. Only a small handful of boats capsized. A total of 6 races were sailed in each set totaling 24 races for the regatta with zero protests filed. The race committee was very pleased with the sportsmanship exhibited by all sailors. Congratulations to all teams who qualified for The War Memorial, The Luce Regatta, as well as Club Champs. Also, thank you again to all volunteers who made the Central Fall Qualifier
