Regatta Results from 30 Sept at NYCC

We sailed at NYCC in more much breeze than we've had there all season. Due to death rolls downwind and the gusty conditions, there were at least a half dozen capsizes, but all of our boats stayed upright. Here is the description of the conditions from the regatta organizers:

     Another perfect regatta day on the Lafayette River brought blue skies, lumpy seas, and winds 10-16 mph with gusts higher out of the NNW clocking to NNE with minor oscillations.

     On the varsity course 27 teams representing 15 schools completed 7 races in each of 2 divisions on a W4/W3 with gate course. Norfolk Collegiate Team 1 captured first place, followed by Nansemond-Suffolk Academy in second, and Norfolk Academy in third place.

Below are the results, first from Crusaders 1 (the juniors and seniors) :
