2008 Graham Hall/ John Jackson Team Race
US Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD March 1-2 Day 1: Breeze on! The day started with a building WNW breeze which built to 25 kts. There were some down phases which saw some good team racing but the rest was boat-speed in big breeze. We completed 1 full round robin and stopped as the breeze was steady over 30 kts. We had 8 umpires which braved the cold windy conditions, a special thanks to those umpires Jeff Borland, Molly Vandemoer, Christine Accutella, Dave Pyron, Matt Jones, Dobbs Davis, Andrew Cole, and Brady. Also a big thanks to The Midshipman for some great RC work in really tough conditions. Congratulations to MY Maritime for winning the qualifying round. The top four teams will move to Georgetown tomorrow to sail the top four from Georgetown's racing today. The teams moving on are NY Maritime, Navy, St. Mary's, and Roger Williams. Graham Hall was a famous coach here at Navy in the late 70's and 80's when Navy won 7 Fowle trophies in a row, he passed away a few years ago and this regatta is in his memory. Some alumni were on hand to watch the racing and talk about Graham and his brother was around to congratulate all the sailors. It was a fitting tribute to a Sailor, Friend and Mentor of College sailing. 2008 Graham Hall Team Race US Naval Academy Annapolis, MD Round 1 Navy St. Mary's Roger Williams Hobart / WM Smith Harvard NY Maritime Old Dominion Kings Point Wins Losses Position Navy X W W W W L W L 5 2 2 St. Mary's L X W W W L W W 5 2 3 Roger Williams L L X W W W W W 5 2 4 Hobart / WM Smith L L L X L L W L 1 6 6 Harvard L L L W X L L L 1 6 6 NY Maritime W W L W W X W W 6 1 1 Old Dominion L L L L W L X L 1 6 6 Kings Point W L L W W L W X 4 3 5 John Vandemoer Varsity Dinghy Coach USNA Sailing 410.293.5617 (O) 410.703.0873 (C) ________________________________________________ icsa mailing list [email protected] http://www.collegesailing.org/mailman/?listname=icsa
