Saturday: A wild day on the Thames today with an Easterly breeze that
built from 6-12 in the morning to 15-25 in the afternoon. Ten races in
A-Division and eight in B-Division were completed before racing was
called for the day. All courses were W-4. Thanks to Liz Powers
(Harvard '10) and Kate Hagemann (Yale '09) for judging on the water.
There were no protests and no yellow flags. Along with Liz and Kate,
Danny Rabin (Brown) and Matt Lindblad (MIT) also assisted with
rescues/damage control. They will all receive their Coast Guard rescue
boat qualification at tomorrow's awards ceremony. ISCA Rep John Storck
III (Dartmouth) was a huge help, especially making key suggestions when
my mind was clearly elsewhere. The all freshman/sophomore crew of Coast
Guard Bears did a great job with race committee, getting in eighteen
quality races in tough conditions.
Sunday: Another fun day of racing on the Thames with a Southwesterly
breeze that ranged from 8-20. Eight A-Division and ten B-Division races
were sailed. All courses were W-4. One request for redress was filed
and disallowed. No other protests were filed. Thanks again to Liz and
Kate for helping with judging and rescues. They counted 25 capsizes
today, which was probably fewer than yesterday! Also thanks again to
John for helping as the rep. The undergrad team of Parker Simon ('14),
Ellen Kintz ('13), Max Caballero ('13), Pipp Driscoll ('13), Katie
Anderson ('14), Marjorie Balcorta ('14), Meredith Anderson ('14),
Rebecca O'Connor ('13), Cyrus Unvala ('13) and Matt Zangle ('11) did an
excellent job all weekend helping with race committee and regatta
management.
Congrats to the Boston College Eagles for taking home the 2011 Emily
Wick/Sloop Shrew!
