The Webb Regatta
Christopher Newport University – October 24-25 2009
Regatta Highlights:
This was a regatta with wind, lots of wind – often above 26 knots.
Saturday gave us southerly winds, warm temperatures, and steep waves with a
long
fetch. There were capsizes, a lot of wild planning and a lot of fun.
Sunday was quite different with the passing of a cold front during the
night, We got gusty, shifty winds off the northern shore with rather flat
water and slightly less wind velocity. With our two fleets of FJs and 420s,
everyone was on the water and sailing all of both days. We sailed a full
double rotation of 32 races of 13 to 18 minutes in length and had everyone on
their way home by 1:00pm on Sunday. Many of the finishes featured multiple
overlaps at the line that only the Race Committee could accurately call.
Many thanks are due Wells Fargo Advisors for sponsoring the event. Their
most appreciated support allowed us to provide pizza from Sopranos on
Saturday and T shirts for all on Sunday.
Thanks for regatta management to Lynn Ball, Taylor Gray, Brennann Russell,
Katlin Kitchen, Forrest Swan, Maxwell Plarr, Taylor Morgan, Tyler Million,
and our assistant coach, Kate McClintock. Thanks also to Doc Griffin from
W&M and Alex Ambrossi of Hampton for help with protests and the support
boat.
Congratulations to Hampton University for winning the event. The members
of the winning team were Shane Horsford, Athner George, Andrew Shoemaker,
and Ian Guagliardo.
