Today, Shields Trophy competitors were greeted by gray and not quite blustery conditions for the final 3 races on the Chesapeake Bay off Annapolis.
Navy started the day with a 9 pt lead on Mass Maritime and kept their foot on the floor winning races 5 & 6 before blemishing their score line with a 6th in the last race but with victory already in hand. California Maritime returned to their usual consistent form putting up a 2,3,1 to overtake Mass Maritime for second. Mass sailed well with a 5,4,3 to hold on to third. Special thanks to PRO Fred Dertsch and his crack RC team who started on time, moved marks as necessary, and completed the full slate of 7 races as well as Chief Judge Scott Kerwin, and his jury of Dick Morin and Mike Brownlee whose services as it turned out, were not needed this weekend due to good behavior on all competitors' parts. Next up at Navy Offshore is the McMillan Cup 22 & 23 October. 1. Navy 1,1,3,1,1,1,6 14 2. Cal Maritime 2,4,7,4,2,3,1 23 3. Mass Maritime 3,2,4,6,5,4,3 27 4. Coast Guard 5,3,6,7,3,2,4 30 5.
