The 2021 College Sailing Singlehanded Nationals was hosted by Severn Sailing Association in conjunction with the US Naval Academy. The fleet headed out into the Chesapeake Bay, just past Greenbury Point, and racing began at around 1030. Temperatures started out in the 40s and climbed up to the mid 50s throughout the day. The conditions on the racecourse were near perfect with northeast winds from 8-18 knots. There were a good number of puffs and shifts as well as some current and waves, which allowed for a thorough test of skills. The fleet was very deep and the racing was tight all day long. The Race Committee was efficient in completing 8 races by 1530 and the fleet headed back in to the club. The on the water judging team kept the racing clean and heard one redress request after racing, resulting in 1 BKD being awarded in Race 8.
Sunday was another great day of racing on the Chesapeake Bay. The wind was out of the north / northeast all day, staring in the mid teens and subsiding throughout the day with puffs shifts and waves throughout. The final six races were completed well before the cutoff time. SSA's RC team did a great job of running fair and efficient races while the on the water judges kept the racing fair. No protests or redress requests were filed. Congratulations to Leo Boucher from St. Mary's for winning the Glenn S Foster Trophy for the College Sailing Singlehanded Championship!
