SEISA Qualifier #6 St. Patricks Day Regatta Hosted by University of South Alabama
Teams arrived promptly at 9:00. Boats were rigged and in the water by 9:30. A skippers meeting was held at 9:30 and we had a 30 minute discussion about team racing. Everyone decided that if there were time after the races, we would sail a team race scrimmage/clinic. The first race started at 10:30. 8 races were sailed with A and B division racing together. Races were concluded at 3:00. After a lunch break, everyone went back out for team racing at 4:00 and sailed until 6:00 Team Racing Results are below. Temps were in the 60s and everyone got very sunburned. Races 1-2 were sailed in a steady 15 knot northerly with gusts near 20 which caused 3 capsizes. Races 3-4 were sailed in a very shifty 5-15 knots. We moved the race course farther away from land for the remainder of the races. Races 5-8 were sailed in a shifty, dying 2-12 knots. The shifty, puffy conditions made for some great racing and interesting spectating. Thanks to the teams that made it to the regatta during spring break. Thanks to the people who helped with the races: Jon Few USA 03, Joe Arbour USA 08, Bernard Moseby Jr. USA 09, Chaz Stewart USA 10, Meghan Alesce USA 09.

The blue team was mostly USA sailors and a UWF team. The red team was a combination of other teams and USA alum. Thanks to Jimmy Wacker for bringing his 40 foot spectator boat with all the extra sailors and many yacht club members who enjoyed spectating the action. 4 of the 5 races were extremely close with multiple marktraps and passbacks on every leg. There were very few collisions, but many fouls and 360 penalty turns. Thanks to the sailors for putting in an 8 hour day on the water.
