32nd Joseph R. Duplin Trophy
March 26-27, 2011
Tufts University Boathouse
Upper Mystic Lake, Medford, MA

Saturday at the Duplin saw the same conditions everyone else saw; WNW 5-20 with 
big shifts.  The sun was out most of the time but temps struggled to hit the 
predicted 38 degrees.  Two round-robins were held using 21 Larks for the seven 
teams.  There were a few minor breakdowns; not bad for the fleets first dip 
into the recently thawed lake.  One breakdown resulted in two re-sails.  One 
protest resulted in DSQ's to both parties.

Special thanks to Tufts Will Pelleteri for finish line duty and Tufts alum John 
Tagliamonte for hearing the protest and redress cases.  A special mention also 
goes out to Tufts former sailing coach Joe Duplin (with help from Greg Dolan) 
for repairing boats while the team was away on spring break to ready them for 
the regatta named for him.

Sunday was a repeat with even more sun and slightly steadier winds from the 
West or NW.  A third round-robin was held, followed by two re-sails from 
Saturday, then lunch.  After lunch the top three (BC, Tufts, and Brown) sailed 
a double round-robin, while the bottom four (Charleston, Harvard, South 
Florida, and MIT) sailed a single round-robin.

John Tagliamonte returned to hear one protest at day's end while coaches Matt 
Cohen and Danny Rabin heard one at lunch.  Undergrads Sara Carnahan, Tori 
Porter, Kathleen Kwasniak, and Paula Grasberger sat in the finish boat and 
worked on scores.  78 races were sailed in total.
