The first day of the MAISA Laser Elimination went well. It was partly cloudy with temperatures in the 70s. Wind was from the northeast at 8-12 knots all day and we had approximately 1/4 knot of current going against the wind in the morning and with the wind in the afternoon. We set a course in the Chesapeake Bay off Greenbury Point and ran four races before a lunch break and another 4 races after. All courses were W4 and races were 20-25 minutes long. Peter Hogan and Hamrick Morgan served as on the water judges and issued one penalty under PCR 32. One breakdown request was filed and denied for failure to continue sailing the course.
Sunday started out with some fog and light rain. The wind ENE at 10-15 knots. As the morning progressed, the wind lightened up while shifting left. A light current ran against the wind for most of the morning and we had a number of general recalls. The 5 remaining races were completed without a lunch break. Congratulations to the top 6 for advancing to the Carl Van Duyne MAISA Men's Singlehanded Championship.
The following chart shows the relative rank of the teams as of the race indicated. Note that the races are ordered by number, then division, which may not represent the order in which the races were actually sailed.
The first place team as of a given race will always be at the top of the chart. The spacing from one team to the next shows relative gains/losses made from one race to the next. You may hover over the data points to display the total score as of that race.
