New England Dinghy Championship

12 races were sailed in each division. A-division sailed in the Harvard fleet and B sailed in the MIT fleet. The westerly gradient breeze suffered from inconsistent velocity early in the day, but steadied as the day wore on. All races were course W-4. There will be a redress hearing for race 3-B at 9:40am on Sunday. Many thanks to the Harvard sailors who helped with the race management and scoring. They are Will White, Gram Slattery, Michael Drumm, Ben Lamont, and Reid Bergsund. We also owe much gratitude to our judges for keeping everyone honest. They are Kerry Sullivan, John Moulthrop, Jeff Dusek, Chris Petracco and Jamie Ewing.

The conditions on Sunday were similar to Saturday with an unstable westerly ranging from 2-6 knots early in the day. The velocity became steadier in the 4-8 knot range later in the day. The racing was incredibly close right up to the very end. Congratulations to Harvard, Roger Williams, Yale, Dartmouth,Boston College, Boston University, Tufts and Brown for qualifying for the Semifinal Round of the ICSA Dinghy National Championship. Many Thanks to our judges today, John Moulthrop, Josh Leighton and Jamie Ewing. Thanks to the Harvard Team for helping with the regatta.
