Rudkin Team Race

Racing got underway promptly at 10:15 in a 5-7 knot SE breeze which clocked right before puttering out midday. After a short on-land postponement, racing resumed in a lovely westerly breeze while dolphins danced around the race course.

We sailed double races and ended up 8 races shy of completing the double round robin. There will be a resail between Eckerd and Connecticut College tomorrow.

Huge thanks to Carrie Greene and the coaches for umpiring races. Also to Evan Langford of Eckerd for manning the finish boat and entering scores.

A light ESE breeze greeted sailors. We completed the first two rounds as the breeze clocked right throughout the morning. The breeze looked as if it might die, but rather suddenly it filled in from the west again. We were ~seven races shy of completing the third round robin. Bummer.

Thanks to Carrie Greene and Will Bailey for hearing a protest at the end of the day. And to the umpire/coaches for quick on-the-water justice. Again Evan Langford crushed on the finish boat.

Congrats to Bowdoin on winning the second edition of the Rudkin Team Race South.
