Day one of the T S Stern Match Race was sailed in some beautiful Charleston sunshine and 8-15mph breeze from the NW. C of C's matched J/22's were sailed and the Cooper River provided some of it's usual impressive ebb. Still the entire round robin one was sailed and there was some excellent match racing to watch. At day's end, Charleston leads the BUSA team (on their final leg of their US tour) with Michigan and USF rounding out the top 4. Clemson, UF, Georgia Tech and Auburn were 5-8. Tomorrow at 9:30 we start the semi finals and the consolation round.
Sunday's forecast was for more of the same- breeze of 10-12 from the Northwest with bright sun....the sun came but after the first flight, the breeze painfully faded and eventually swung around to the southwest building to 5mph.The teams still enjoyed some close racing and all the final and consolation rounds were completed and all teams were on the road by 3pm. The Charleston Cougars defeated Michigan (we appreciate they made the 14 hour drive!) for the overall win in some close racing. The overall results: Charleston Michigan BUSA USF Clemson Georgia Tech UF Auburn Thanks again to Jackson Benvenutti and Camden Simon for their umpiring and hosting a great Saturday evening debrief. Thanks too, to Katie Werley for helping on the committee boat and the Cougar Squad for managing the ever changing race course!
