The top eight teams showed up for the President's trophy and teams rank 9 through 15 for the Terkelsen at Connecticut College, May 14th - 15th. Wind looked to be sketchy, but turned out to be excellent both days with moderate southerly's on Saturday and a building Southwesterly on Sunday. A moderate outgoing current on the Thames River kept things interesting and boats playing the left side of the course, on both upwind legs.
A very competitive fields at the New England Tournament with extremely tight racing all day, both days. Congratulations to Fairfield Ludlowe HS for their come-from-behind win and for qualifying for the NIT, this weekend in Sharon.
Thank you to Conn College and Jeff Bresnahan for hosting our New England championships.
Huge thanks to the PRO - Roger Rawlings... The Umpires, CHUMP - Andrew Nugnes, Andy Nutton, Graham, Gary Werden, and Prescott Littlefield. Scorer - Carl Zimba and Wellesley high school coach, Larry Lovett, for doing a fantastic job with boat rotations.
An excellent weekend of sailing. Good luck to everyone moving on.
