Saturday: North to Northwest breezes from 4-17 knots allowed 47 races to be completed. PRO Christopher W. Gaffney showed tremendous patience working with Mike Kuschner and the SMC Seahawks to keep the course square in significant shifts throughout the day. An outstanding group of umpires kept the racing fair for the racers:
Rob Overton, Chief umpire Guy Barbato, reserve Stovy Brown Andrew Campbell Gary Grimes Sandy Grosvenor Justin Law John Pearce Dawn Riley Richard Sullivan Sunday: The day began with race 20 in the second round and by 11:30 the second round was complete in tricky Northwesterly breezes from 3-12 knots. The RC was aggressive about moving marks and the finish line to try and keep up with the shifts; but in a couple of instances 1/2 runaways stayed unchanged on the last beat without much hope. All four teams in the championship final 4 (Hobart, Georgetown, St. Mary's and Navy) entered with a chance to win the event. The Midshipmen battled hard, but in the end, the Seahawks made a run and emerged on top with Hobart 2nd and Georgetown 3rd. The top three teams advance to the ICSA / APS Team Race National Championships to be hosted by the University of Texas June 3-5.
