Title: Sherman Hoyt Trophy Summary

Saturday, October 21

Day one of the Sherman Hoyt Trophy could not have been much nicer for sailboat racing. Temps in the 70's with lots of sun and a building breeze right when the competitors arrived. The breeze started at 6-8 knots from the Southeast for the early races and slowly went right to the South/Southwest throughout the day and peaked at around 14 knots with some nice chop. The breeze began to lighten for the later races at around 5-6 knots by 5pm.

This was the first Interconference event hosted by Brown in two fleets of boats with A-division sailing Z420s and B-division sailing new FJs. Each division sailed 10 races. All courses were W4's and there were a few minor breakdowns that held things up here and there and one protest filed that was disallowed. Outgoing current caused some General Recalls and the racing was extremely tight throughout.

A huge thanks to photographer Rob Migliaccio for taking lots of great photos that will end up on the NEISA Facebook page and to our judges James Barry '16 and Megan Grapengeter-Rudnick '17 for judging and keeping the fleet in check. Thanks as well to Brown sailors Gabe Hannon '20, Zack Jordan '20, John Mastrandrea '20, and Jack Briano '21 for helping run the races.

Very tight scores with the U.S. Naval Academy leading the way so far. 10:00am first race scheduled for tomorrow and each division will switch fleets with A-division in FJs and B-division in Z420s.
