2010 ICSA National Championship Eastern Semifinal College of Charleston May 1-2, 2010 Saturday: It was an excellent day for racing on the Cooper River with good breeze, air temps around 80 and sunny skies. We sailed 10 A races and 8 B races. The wind was shifting between the south and the southwest throughout the day. The wind velocity started out around 8 knots and built through out the day, maxing out at around 15-18 knots. We had a strong ebb tide (upwind current) for most of the day, but minimized general recalls by utilizing a pin boat and the 1-minute rule. All courses were windward leewards (4 or 5 legs), with offsets and gates. Sunday: It was another great day for racing on the Cooper river, with conditions almost identical to yesterday. 7B and 5A races were completed on windward-leeward courses (3, 4 and 5 legs) with offsets and gates. Thanks to our judges, Bob Bowden, Sarah Ashton, Noel Shriner and Maria Petrillo; the ICSA representative, David Dabney; Cathy Swanson for driving our photo/video boat; Sailgroove for providing video coverage; and PRO Ward Cromwell and the Charleston team for running great races. And finally, a big thanks to our sponsors, LaserPerformance, Marlow, US Sailing, Sleep Inn of Mt. Pleasant, The Variety Store, The Cougar Club, and CofC Athletics.
