Final Results SMU Fall 2x2 Team Race Saturday, 12 September 2009 Corinthian Sailing Club White Rock Lake; Dallas, TX 420's
SEISA's first 2x2 Team Race was a resounding success despite the weather. The regatta was defined by light air, soaking rain, and typically shifty White Rock breeze. These conditions made the racing more difficult for some of the less experienced team racers, but it kept the sailing interesting. A full rotation of 21 races was completed in just under 5 hours. No protests were filed, but there were a few 360's. Tulane sailed their A squad and walked away with the regatta. It was nice to see A&M up at the top of the leader board and Colorado sailed well for such a new team. SMU also continued its tradition of giving a lot of sailors a shot in their first college regatta. The new 2x2 format was very successful with most teams agreeing that it was a nice change of pace and allowed for some good spectating and a great opportunity to expand that type of racing within SEISA, where most team race regattas are generally limited to just three or four schools. The most common complaint was just inexperience with the format, which cost some teams. A big Thank You to the SMU team for organizing another great event, Corinthian Sailing Club for the use of its facilities, SMU Alum Kyle Wilson for his RC supprt and Baylor Alum Anderson Jones for acting as PRO. I am also proud to announce that the SEISA Executive Committee has chosen to name the SEISA Sportsmanship award after Anderson. It was felt that he is a perfect example of the consumate sportsman who has dedicated a great deal of himself to suppoting SEISA. The next 2x2 will be the Sunday of A&M Galveston's Troy Swetnam Memorial in 2 weeks (Saturday will be conventional fleet racing).
