Title: Shields Trophy Regatta Summary

Saturday, September 16

Ten teams showed up for the Shields Trophy in Annapolis at the Naval Academy today. Unfortunately the wind did not. Although there was a little breeze to allow for some practice prior to first scheduled warning signal, it shut down right at the 1205 start and PRO Tom Stalder wisely hoisted AP sparing the fleet from the agony of racing in the drifter conditions.

He patiently and optimistically remained on station holding out hope for something to come in. When nothing materialized by 1445, he pulled the plug and the fleet motored back to USNA.

Skippers meeting and start times have been pushed forward 30 minutes tomorrow with the hope to get in some good races. Please check the Techscore regatta bulletin board for this amendment.

We would appreciate you doing your best wind dance tomorrow morning on our behalf...
