When Competitors arrived for the 2012 Graham Hall Team Race, a light rain was falling and the river looked fairly glassy. We held the competitors meeting as scheduled at 0915 and while Ken Legler from Tufts was telling the fleet about Graham Hall and all that he meant to college sailing, the skies began to clear and the wind started to fill in out of the West. Racing began at 1000 under mostly cloudy skies and a 5-8 knot westerly, which shifted NW throughout the morning and increased to 15 knots before shifting back tot the West and lightening towards the end of the day. The last few races were sailed in close to drifter conditions. The sun came out in the afternoon and the temperature rose to near 60 degrees, making for some great sailing conditions. Two N courses were set in the Severn River, just off the Robert Crown Center. With such good conditions, we were able to complete the initial 16 team round robin. Tomorrow , we will break into gold and silver round robin! s,! and then hopefully a final four or six, depending on time / conditions. A huge event like would not be possible without the help of a large number of volunteers. On the race committee, we had LT Ben Herring, Kyle Assad, ENS Robert Vann, CAPT Dick Morin(RET) and their team of midshipmen running over 100 races over the course of the day. Keeping the fleet honest, ChUmp Rob Overton and his team of Larry Sill, Doc Sullivan, Joel Labruzetta, Jimmy Praley, Cole Allsopp, Carol Robinson, David Clinnin, JC Clinnin, Justing Law, Nick Holtan, Katrina Williams, Herb Larrabee and Andrew Cole spent the entire day on the water umpiring, leading to zero protest being heard on shore.
