This is the first year in quite some time that we have had the full complement of 20 teams competing at the Navy Spring Women's Interconference Regatta. When the sailors arrived, temperatures were around 40 degrees under sunny skies and a 15 knot NW breeze. A windward / leeward course was set in the Severn River off the Robert Crown Center. A division started the day in FJs, while B division sailed 420s. After the first set, the wind lightened up and became extremely shifty and puffy. 8 races per division were sailed in the northwesterly which got spottier as the day went on. The last few races saw puffs roll through on the final runs which led to the entire fleet converging on the finish line at the same time. The wind then shifted east and the fleet went in for a break while the course was reconfigured off Triton Point. Three more races were completed per division in 5-10 knots before lightening winds forced the end of racing for the day. Managing the racing throughout a very challenging day was LT Ben Herring and his team of Midshipmen. Dick Morin, Brian Clancy and Allison Jolly heard one protest, which was disallowed and one redress request, where Rhode Island was granted average points in race 8 A. Georgetown University leads after day 1. Complete results can be found here: http://scores.collegesailing.info/s12/navy-women/
