Coed Championship Regatta

Stanford

June 1-3, 2009

Boat: FJ

MONDAY: The first day of the ICSA/Gill Coed Dinghy Nationals was a long, cold day on the water for competitors. PRO Mike Kalin did a great job cranking out eight races in each division. The breeze was 15-20 knots the majority of the day with the highest gust clocked at 22 knots. The day started out with a 2.6 knot ebb, which brought a lot of chop to the course. Four protests were heard resulting in four DSQs. St. Mary's lead by 27 points.

TUESDAY: Upon arrival at St FYC, a cold mist and bone-chilling fog surrounded the docks. As if by miracle, at noon there was sunshine and 15-20 knots. Six races were completed in each division. The judges had a busy day flagging Rule 42 activity on-the-water, as well as hearing five protests, which resulted in four disqualifications. St. Mary's lead was cut to 7 points.

WEDNESDAY: Racing was pushed back to an 11am start to ensure optimum conditions. Race 15A the puffs were hitting 21 knots and the chop was short, steep and difficult to navigate. St. Mary's College and Yale battled all day long. A-Division skipper Thomas Barrows of Yale did his best to put his team in contention. Barrows took second place in race 17A. The Yale duo was able to squirm free and escape to the right side of the course and pass the entire fleet en route to a first place in 18A and a three point lead going into the final B-Division set. For the second time in a week, the final set was a winner takes all affair. St. Mary's B-Division, Michael Menninger and crew Jennifer Chamberlin, would save their best sailing for last. With their backs to the wall, they powered off the start line in both races and claimed the National Championship in style with a classic "horizon job" in the final race -- in fact, Menninger was able to pass the tiller to Senior "Chambermaid" for the cross of the finish line in her final college sailing race. Congratulations to Coaches Adam Werblow and Bill Ward.

A special thanks goes out to all the people who worked long and hard to make this event run so smoothly. First of all, Dave Santori for his help on Race Committee and for lending support from his Golden Gate Yacht Club. Don Becker served as Head Judge with help from John Pratt, John Mollicone, John Storck, Betsy Altman, Rick Hatch, and Eddie Conrad. St. Francis members and Regatta Co-Chairs Rolf Kaiser and Shannon Bonds did a fantastic job coordinating efforts between the club, Race Committee, and all parties. Stanford Coaches John Vandemoer and John Storck have been working on this event all year. ICSA representative Jay Kehoe came up with the idea to bring this event here and also volunteered his efforts to ensure a smooth event. ESPN U and Gary Jobson for covering the event -- we can't wait for the release! Chris Love and Pat Hitchens of Sailgroove for their candid coverage of all three events. Glennon Stratton of GTS photos for his awesome pics. Sponsors: ICSA, Gill, APS, Marlow, Luminaria, Quantum, US SAILING, GTS Photos, Kattack, and Sail 1 Design. Finally, to Mike Kalin for being an exceptional PRO and running such quality races on the challenging City Front this week.
