Thompson Trophy

The drysuits stayed in gear bags this weekend as a 70 degree Saturday allowed for eight races in all three divisions. The Thames brought variable breeze, which made for some difficult racing in the morning. A and B division were able to get a set off however racing went into a holding pattern until the southerly filled in. At around 12:00, the breeze was steady enough to get races off; the rest of the day went smoothly with only one protest.

Sunday was a little bit more breezy and cold; conditions were tough in the morning with a dying northerly which had a race abandoned and boats holding at the dock. At around 11:00 the breeze clocked to a SSW, which made for some shifty racing. PRO Emilie Mademann and the Camel race committee who sported some retro Conn apparel both days were able to smoothly get five good races off. Congratulations to the Yale Bulldogs who had yet another a great weekend, staying very consistent while other teams were up and down. BC and Fordham also had an awesome performance to round out the top 3. Thank you to the Coast Guard Academy for providing the venue and to the Camels for running races.
