2010 ICSA National Championship Western Semifinal University of Washington - Sail Sand Point May 1-2, 2010
Saturday started with a postponement on shore as a light southerly switched to the north. A-fleet started racing shortly after noon in a steady 8 knots. Winds began to die at the start of race 2A and remained light for the remainder of the afternoon. 2 race were finished in A and B-fleet. Sailors and coaches were treated to a delicious dinner by Stephanie of Course Catering. Sunday: Races got underway at 9:30 in a steady southerly. Wind speeds stayed between 6-10 knots. Shifts came from both sides of the course and kept races close all day. The battle for 9th place, and the last berth to the finals, lasted until the last B fleet race with only 5 points between Stanford, U Miami and Eckerd. Courses were W4's and W5's with a windward finish right at the dock. 8A and 8B races were sailed for a total of 10 in each division for the weekend. A huge thanks to PRO Jay Renehan and all the members of race committee that braved the cool temps and occasional showers. Thanks as well to our Judges Charlie Macaulay, Brian Watkins, Norm Smit and Jared Hickman, our ICSA Rep Danielle Richards and Event Chair Molly Jackson. Congratulations to the top nine teams: Yale, St. Mary's Seahawks Roger Williams, Old Dominion, Harvard, Hobart & William Smith, Salve Regina, NY Maritime, Stanford for qualifying for the 2010 ICSA National Championship at the University of Wisconsin.
