Thompson Trophy Camel

Hello Thames River. The Wind was straight west at 8-18knts! The goal was to keep the course in the middle of the leaky puffs from the WSW and NW. We had to re-sail 1 race and call a few back due to one tack beats or tight reaching runs. Two Full rounds of 8 completed , 1 round is scheduled for Sunday. Thanks to Camel undergrads and Alums that helped racing run smooth. The umpires helped to keep the racing fair, thanks to Moose McClintok , Bob LaFranze, Walter Florio and Miya Preyer. A few red flags were given for player control and unacceptable behavior to other competitors and the umpires . One protest was heard for excessive damage so the school can pay for the excessive damage. A few request for redress were heard. Conngrats to the Camel Seniors on their Senior Day. As the Sunsets on another Camel Class, we start to prepare for the Sunrise on Camel Nation and their place in it! Camel Alums go far and wide, but always come back to Camel Pond!

Straight West again. We had more west but it had more leaky WSW puffs in it. We sailed races in W, NW, WSW, SW, S, and SE. Only 1 race had to be resailed. Thanks again to all that helped and kept things moving. Some bad attitudes seemed to be better today towards the RC and Umpires. 1 Round Completed .
