Eighteen teams representing 13 schools competed in the VISA Fleet Champs with perfect conditions on Mill Creek in Hampton, VA. Skies were blue, air temp hovered around 60 degrees, seas were flat, winds at 8-15mph with gusts slightly higher were initially NNE clocking slightly to ENE. Squirrelly afternoon oscillations made the course just a bit challenging for sailors and committee.
The regatta completed 7 healthy 15-20 min W-4 races in each of A and B division. Christchurch Team 1 stole first place with a notably impressive 6 bullets in B division and a total of 21 points. They were followed by Christchurch Team 2 with 53 points for second place. Norfolk Collegiate finished in third place with 81 points.
We are extremely grateful to the Christopher Newport sailing team for handling all aspects of the event management, especially PRO Dreugh Phillips.
Thanks also goes to Jacob Raymond from Youth Sailing Virginia who has provided unfaltering support to VISA and MASSA events at their facility throughout the season.
