The Marchiando family was on hand for the 25th anniversary regatta named
for their late daughter, Lynne. A beautiful 10-14 kts of east wind made for
fantastic intercollegiate team racing on the Charles River with MIT's color
coordinated FJs. One complete round robin was completed among the 10 teams
using a variety of courses- the collegiate 'N', the modified port
rectangle, and our favorite- the digital 'U' with a downwind start and an I
flag. Wins today were worth 1 point each. The top four teams get to report
later for the championship round where wins will be worth 2 points. The
bottom six teams will report at 9:30 for a repechage round robin. The top 2
teams from the morning will get to race in the championship bringing
forward their points from Saturday only.
Huge numbers of people volunteered to make this a full-on umpired team race
event with isaf style red and yellow flags on each boat's side stays. RC
personnel included Wiley Wakeman, Alvar Saenz-Otero, Ellen Pratt, Sue
Ostrowski, Eric Gibber. Umpiring throughout the day were Brad Churchill,
John Pratt, Ben Stiller, Bobby Martin, Craig Nale, Bill Upthegrove, Drew
Robb, Kyle Assad and Amy and Hannah from BU. John Field was on hand to
judge any rules matters which came off the water.
URI, Harvard, BC, MIT each had 6-3 records. Tied and move on directly to
championship round.
St Marys who lost the tie breaker per icsa regs also had a 6-3 record but
will return for the morning repechage along with
Connecticut at 4-5
Tufts at 3-6
Georgetown at 3-6
Bowdoin at 3-6
NY Maritime at 2-7
