The McCurdy Open, hosted by the University of Delaware, was held this
weekend on Saturday October 6 and Sunday October 7 at North East River
Yacht Club.  Saturday greeted us with some sunshine and racing began
around 10:00am with winds out of the south around 10 knots.  The wind
gradually died down a bit to about 5-6 knots around 1:00pm.  At
2:00pm, the wind shifted to the west and picked up to 10-12 knots.
There was a third wind shift around 3:50 in the afternoon to the north
west with gusts up to 20 knots.  There were two capsizes at the end of
the day in the final race.  Each division sailed eight races on a
windward leeward course with an upwind finish.  Racing concluding for
the day around 5:00pm.  No protests were filed.

Sunday brought cold weather, and unfortunately due to a lack of wind,
and rain the regatta was called and no races were completed.

Special thanks to Drexel, Ocean County College, and Pennsylvania State
for attending our regatta, the University of Delaware sailors who
helped make this weekend a success, and Mike and Stephanie Wagner for
running race committee.

Finally, congratulations Drexel on winning the regatta.
