PCCSC Match Race Championship St. Francis Yacht Club & California Maritime Academy
San Francisco, CA October 29-30, 2011 Summary: Saturday, October 29: Saturday morning of the PCCSC Match Race Championship saw little to no breeze on the City Front. However by 2pm the westerly filled beautifully and built to a steady 10-15 knots. Racing ran until dark, allowing for six flights and 24 matches to be completed. The current was ebbing all day and strongest in the late afternoon (3.5-4 knots), making for quick beats and long downwind runs. The matches were close with many penalties. Several races came down to the wire. UC Irvine, Stanford, and Cal Maritime ended the day with five points each. Sunday, October 30: the westerly breeze filled earlier today, topping off at 11 knots. Racing started at 1230h and a flood tide held for most of the afternoon. All races in the first round robin were completed, allowing for a knockout finals round of competitive racing. Stanford and Cal Maritime competed for first, with Stanford winning two out of three matches. Their win qualifies them for the ICSA Match Race Championship which will be hosted here at the St. Francis Yacht Club on November 19-20 in the same fleet of J22s. Congrats to Stanford, we'll see them and the other district qualifiers in a few weeks!
