The ICSA / Laser Performance Women's Singlehanded Championships concluded today with some lead changes and very close sailing. Conditions continued to be unseasonably chilly and breezy on Tampa Bay, with winds averaging between the mid to upper-teens for the entire regatta.
On the women's side, Claire Dennis from Yale had an amazing string of 8 wins in a row, but eventually won by only a single point over defending champion Anne Haeger from Boston College, who rallied back from a 9 point deficit the final day to close the gap. And as in the men's race, the race for 3rd was equally tight. With just one race to go, Yale's Emily Billing had a narrow one point lead over Hobart & William Smith's Arielle DeLisser. DeLisser won the final race, though, to capture 3rd overall.
All races were WL x 5, with a windward offset and leeward gate. One breakdown was awarded, two OCS's, and no protests filed. ICSA President Mitch Brindley served as ICSA rep.
