We sailed in our second high school regatta on Saturday September 17 up at Christchurch School. Due to scheduling the VISA fleet was split with most of the teams at Fort Monroe. However, the best team in the league (Christchurch whose teams finished 1, 3, 4 out of 23 teams the previous week at NYCC) was at the regatta we attended so they provided a good yardstick. We again entered two teams: Team 1 had Jake and Nick as the skippers, with Jake sailing A division and Nick sailing B; Team 2 had Erynn and Iggy as helms, with Erynn sailing A and Iggy sailing B. The other team members rotated through in the crew slots. All sailed at least two races, except Matt Beauchamp who was at a cross country meet.
The individual finishes were:
Jake 4,4,4,5,4,4,
Nick: 5,6,5,5,5,DNS
Erynn: 6,6,8,7,7,5
Iggy: 4,4,4,4,4.5
The team totals and overall places are available at this link. In many races we were close to the CCS "armada," at times overlapped at the finish. The breeze was up around 15 kts by the last set of rotations so I think our heavy air practice the previous week paid off. I'm looking forward to next Saturday when the entire fleet will again be at NYCC. Considering the individual results this week, Jake and Iggy will be Team 1 and Nick and Erynn will be team 2.
I'm not sure why Nick was scored Did Not Start for his last race. There was obviously an error on the committee boat as he did sail the race. If he was over early at the start and did not return he would have been scored OCS (On Course Side). In either case he garnered 9 points (one more than the number of starters in the varsity fleet.)
Thanks to Mr. Segerblom and Mrs. Kiggans for the pictures.
