Title: Kennedy Cup Summary

Kennedy Cup Interconference 1 Division Navy in Navy 44 View full report Sunday, November 5 Today started out more or less on forecast with a light but sailable southeasterly. But as time for first warning approached, it lightened up and shifted hard right prompting PRO Paul Clissold to hoist AP. The breeze remained light for over an hour as the fleet waited nervously to see whether races could be had. The wind did fill back in around 6 knots from the SSE and race 5 was started. SUNY pushed Navy and themselves over at the pin while Charleston was over mid line. Up the first beat Cal led out of the left then to the starboard layline. Mass Maritime was a few lengths back in second and leader USF was third. Navy rounded 9th but was first to jibe and found a seam of breeze to come back across which allowed them to make big gains moving up to 4th at the gate. Navy crossed and tacked on USF but got tacked on by Mass so the top four rounded as they were at the bottom. Mass nipped Cal at the finish to take the win and preserve their well-deserved 2nd place for the regatta. Cal held on for second while USF crossed 3rd for the race giving them the consistent scoreline that won them the regatta (3,3,1,4,3). Navy finished 4th which moved them up to 3rd overall one point ahead of Cal. Congratulations to the USF Bulls for their second consecutive Kennedy Cup win!
