Southern Hospitality RegattaHosted by University of South Alabama and Buccaneer
Yacht ClubSaturday November 15, 2008 Saturday morning greeted the teams with a
brisk 20 kts steady westerly. First race started at 10am with steady 20kt and
+25kt puffs. Six races were completed with many capsizes and wipe outs from
most teams. Following a 1 hour postponement and lunch break with hopes of the
wind slacking some we hit the water again at 1:30pm. The remaining races were
sailed in identical conditions as the morning with a steady 20-25kts dying some
for the last B set. All teams did a great job in these "survival conditions"
throughout the day. It came down to when the 25kt puff hit, whoever could keep
the boat under control would finish first. The spectators on shore got a kick
out of watching the puff heading to the race course and suddenly hits and 4
boats capsize. There were several broken shackles and untied hiking straps
however no breakdown points were awarded. All 16 races were completed. Thanks
to race committee Sara Hall and USA Sailing Alumni Ashley Hall, Joseph Arbour,
and Meghan Alesce. Rotation boat owner Jimmy Wacker and Dylan Wacker for
keeping quick rotations and easy spectating. Markset/capsize recovery and
committee boat owners Ken Kleinschrodt and Chuck Stewart for their loaned
boats. And thanks for all the teams for making the drive to USA.
Congratulations to Tulane skippers Chris Burd and Patrick Ryan crews Jenny
O'Connell and Jessie Yoste. (9)=Retire
