The 40th Cardinal Red Lynne Marchiando Team Races

Glassy sea conditions finally gave way to a fresh WSW breeze at 12-15 and eventually fading to 7 by 6 pm. Racing really didn't get going well until 330 but competitors ripped off a bunch of races in the warm temps of the late afternoon.

Many thanks to all the umpires who were led by Tony Weiner as our CHUMP.Emily Haig led up the scoring team. Wa;ly Corwin and Dan Tucker kept everything organized on the dock and all the boats functioning well.

Everyone will be part of the backdrop in the filming of the 'Instigators' tomorrow as the action will be on Mass Ave in the morning and right in front of the pavilion along Memorial Drive in the afternoon.

The event honors the memory of Lynne Marchiando, a very active sailor/ student during her undergraduate years at MIT and started every weekend with MIT's top sailor as well as being very involved with organizing NEISA as an officer, too.

Yale was dominant against a very tough field of competitors and finished with a record of 13-1. The Bull Dogs stellar team included Jack Egan '25, Nathan Sih '25, Stephan Baker '26, Catherine Webb '23, Teddy Nicolosi '24, Meredith Ryan '23, Benjamin Markert '23 and Anisha Arcot '23.

A gnarly northerly at 12-25 knots made for dicey conditions and whammy headers and big ease lifts all day long. Our amazing team of umpires did their best to keep things honorable among the sailors were led by CHUMP Tony Weiner along with Sam Merson, George Eristoff, Colin Suvak, Collen Roney, Scott Booth, John Pratt, Rob Davis and Sterling Worrell. Oaklin Keefe handled scoring while boats finishing came quickly with rolling three minute sequences.
