Competitors were welcomed to Navy today by a beautiful Fall Annapolis day. All four divisions hit the water this morning at 1000 in a very light Easterly breeze on the harbor. A "Harbor Trapezoid" course was set just off of Triton Point with a long second reach, and a longer last beat with a finish line set far to windward and to starboard of the starting line. Two races were started (one in A and one in B) in the light breeze but both were later abandoned. Afterwards, sailors were sent ashore at 1115 for an extended lunch break and waited for the breeze to fill. At around 1330, the breeze began to fill from the South/Southeast, and sailors were sent back out on Annapolis Harbor. Six races were completed in all four divisions in the afternoon, again using the Harbor Trapezoid course. After sailing all of the competitors were treated to a cookout hosted by the NASS Social Committee.
Thank you to the team of Navy Midshipmen who helped move marks around and run races. Another thank you to the NASS Social Committee and to our Umpire Dave Clinnin who was standing by to hear protests after sailing although there were none. The forecast tomorrow calls for much more breeze and warmer temperatures.
