MCSA Sloop Championship
Detroit Yacht Club
September 22-23, 2007
REGATTA HIGHLIGHTS:
Saturday: The wind 9-12 Kts under a sunny sky with the temperature climbing to
80 degrees. The PRO Ed Theisen ordered up four lap mid-leg start
windward-leeward courses as the wind was almost directly across the Detroit
River. Later in the day the courses were reduced to three laps so that a total
of 8 races could be completed. The racing was very tight in the Detroit Yacht
Club's Flying Scots and at the end of the 6th race the top five teams were only
separated by two points. At the end of the day two protests and one redress
were heard, Miami had a safe lead with four teams duking it out for second
place.
Sunday: There was no wind at 9:30 so a postponement ashore was signaled. The
wind came in from the north shortly after 10 and the first race was started
around 11. Since the wind was coming down the river longer legs were used and
the mid-leg start windward-leeward course was reduced to 2 laps for the first
two races. In order to complete the rotation the last two races were reduced
to only one lap causing some exiting mark roundings. Miami held on to a safe
lead while four other teams traded places. However, Miami took a 8 and a 9 in
the last two races, trying to give its lead away. The Red Hawks managed to
hold on for the win by two points. Notre Dame issued a protest against
Northwestern in race 11 when it noticed that one of its crew was not wearing a
pinnie. The Jury of George Griswold, Ed Theisen, and Robert DeClerc ruled
that under the Procedural Rules that the teams did not have to wear pinnies for
a Conference Championship, and dismissed the Protest allowing the on the water
results to stand.
Congratulations to Miami and Northwestern for qualifying for the ICSA Sloop
Championship in Texas.
