Northern Series 1

It started off a bit chilly, icy rain pelting the boathouse at Mascoma Lake. The teams driving up had heard the treacherous tales of the 1 stop, winner-take-all Northern Series somewhere up in the mountains of New Hampshire. Competitors feared the worst as they battled torrential down pours on Interstate 89, but they were greeted by a nice 8-15 knot Northerly, appropriate for the Northern Series. As the day went on, the sun finally came out around 1:45 and showered the afternoon. Ten Races were sailed, 6 prior to lunch and 4 following. Conditions were typical Mascoma northerly: puffy, long shifts, and some capsizes due to minimal vang tension on the downwinds. Courses were W4s and W3s. Fun racing was had by all: special thanks to Middlebury and Northeastern for sending a Women's Team! Shame on Amherst and Bates - they were no-shows, and really missed out!

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.
