Saturday October 7th saw most of the varsity members unavailable to compete, so we took the 9th and 10th graders to a dedicated JV regatta. Zach had our highest finishes of the year (a 4th and a 5th). He and Gus traded places at the helm and when one of them wasn't act as a crew we had Tyler pulling the jib sheet. Here is the commentary from the regatta organizers and the overall placings:
A seasonally warm 85 degree day greeted 12 Junior Varsity teams from 10 schools with morning winds at 5-10mph with lulls, clocking to due east at 8-12mph with higher gusts by the time racing concluded at 1:30. Sailors completed 8 races on a W4 course.
Norfolk Academy took first place, followed by Walsingham Academy in second place, and Grafton High School in third place.
We extend great thanks to the Poquoson and Walsingham teams for hosting, to Charlie Brewer for serving as PRO, and especially to the Poquoson Fire Department for allowing the use of their fire boat as the committee boat.
