Mill Creek welcomed 18 teams representing 8 schools with partly cloudy skies and air temperatures in the high 50's. Seas were initially aggressive with 1 foot waves in quick succession. Winds started in the in the high teens out of the west with 90 degree oscillations, but after a few races the wind just went wacky rapidly rotating 270 degrees and back twice, waxing and waning in intensity from 0 to 10 mph with wild gusts. Finally it rotated and settled in to ESE at 7 mph with gusts higher for the last couple races in choppy seas.
With numerous course adjustments, a few abandoned races, general and individual recalls, sailors were able to compete in 7 W-4 races with a short mid-regatta break on shore.
Christchurch School Team 5 took first place with , 23 points. In second place, Hampton Roads Academy Team 1 won the tie-breaker with 25 points. Christchurch School Team 1 took third place with 25 points and a tiebreaker loss. Norfolk Collegiate Team one finished in fourth place with 31 points and and impressive 4 bullets.
Great thanks goes to Mark Sarrett for serving as PRO in challenging wind conditions, an to Keith Goodwin for organizing the event and moving marks (repeatedly).
