ODU Women's Interconference

A chilly morning but nice breeze and sunny skies greeted the competitors for the inaugural ODU Women's Interconference Regatta. Competitors launched promptly for a 10:00am first start, however the breeze died leading to a lengthy postponement. Shortly before noon the breeze filled back in and built for the rest of the afternoon. 6 races in each division were completed before the sun went down. Many thanks to the ODU sailors for running some great races for the day. 1 OCS was recorded and 1 protest was heard resulting in a DSQ in race 5B. Tomorrow looks promising for some more great racing, as Yale leads the field heading into the final day.

Sunday on the Elizabeth River was a bit colder than yesterday, but with terrific breeze all day long. 6 more races in each division were completed in a North breeze that started at 15 knots and gradually tapered to single digits as it shifted right throughout the day. 1 request for breakdown was filed and denied due to a missing pin and ring ding on a shroud. Many thanks to Dillon Paiva (Navy), Maxwell Plarr (CNU), and Julia Wiesner (Jacksonville) for hearing our protest and breakdown requests. And again many thanks to the ODU Monarch sailors who did a terrific job of running races all weekend. Congratulations to the Yale Bulldogs on their well earned victory!
