Greater New York Dinghy Regatta Fordham & Columbia University City Island, NY April 9-10, 2011

Thanks to all Columbia and Fordham sailors for their help and Chief Judge Jim Ryan for hearing protests. The were no breakdowns and 2 protests which resulted in 1 DSQ.

Scores can found here: http://scores.collegesailing.info/s11/greater-new-york-dinghy/ Sunday: Teams arrived to a very light 3-5 knot North Easterly. 2 B Division races were sailed and upwind current in the light air made staying below the starting line a difficult task. A Division completed race 9A and race 10A was abandoned at 12:15 and teams postponed ashore. With overcast skies and the only forecasted breeze as a sea-breeze racing was canceled for the day at 1:15. There were no protests. Thanks to our Judges Jim Ryan and his colleague judge in training Bill Donaldson for hearing protests on Saturday. After everyone had de-rigged sailors were treated to cheesecake and an awards presentation.
