ICSA Coed Dinghy Eastern Semifinals

Southern Cal

April 30 - May 1, 2011

FJ's

Sunday, May 1: Sunday arrived with crystal clear views of Catalina Island in one direction and snow capped mountains in the opposite with a struggle offshore breeze. The RC attempted to set a course with the offshore breeze but were only able to complete 2 eastern and 1 western race before the incoming seabreeze put everything into postponement for a course shift. Once the seabreeze filled in it continued to build and allowed the RC to finish 12 eastern races before the 5pm cut off time. Sailors were then greeted to a BBQ dinner at the sailing center while boats were packed up and trophies handed out. Congratulations to our nine qualifiers.

The top four teams after day one were Wisconsin, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Michigan.

Sunday Two final four rounds were scheduled for Sunday, but unfortunately the wind did not cooperate and racing was canceled. Congratulations to Wisconsin and Northwestern for qualifying for the 2011 Collegiate Team Racing Nationals at the Gorge. A huge thank you to the umpire team for their work on and off the water. Chief Umpire Hans Graf assembled a great crew including Mark Johnson, Tod Reynolds, Matt Clark, and Matt Schmidt. Thank you to Jim Kutschenreuter, Brad Egan, Harken, and Summerset Marine for supplying powerboats. Finally, thanks go out to PRO John Porter for getting races off as quickly as possible.

Sperry Top-Sider/ICSA Women's Championship

Cascade Locks, OR

May 24-26, 2011

FJ's

The last day of racing at the Columbia River Gorge for the women's collegiate sailors brought a long wind delay, but a sweet victory in the end for the University of Rhode Island. In the final day of racing at the Sperry Top-Sider/ICSA Women's National Championship for the Gerald C. Miller Memorial Trophy, the women arrived and waited for wind until around 2 p.m. The delay on shore caused everyone to question whether any more races would be sailed. It was cool and cloudy with rain on and off, but finally some breeze began to come down the river at about 2-7 knots from a westerly direction. A division was able to fit in two races before the 5 p.m. racing cut off, but B division only sailed one race, therefore only one race in each division counted today on Windward/Leeward courses.

A division's seventh race of the event and first race of the day was sailed in just enough breeze to get around the course and fight the current. The women were able to hug the shore a bit on the downwind to find current relief in the shallow water. Brown University, Yale University and College of Charleston led the race around the first windward mark and as the fleet spread downwind Yale was able to take the lead at the leeward mark and went on to win the first race. The breeze started to fill in with gusts, cold air and periods of rain. At this point, the University of Rhode Island managed to hold on to their lead closely followed by a number of schools: St. Mary's College, Old Dominion, Yale, Georgetown and Connecticut College.

It was a difficult event due to all of the postponements and stopping and starting, not to mention the challenging conditions that the Gorge presented; rain, its strong currents and unpredictable winds. The top five teams were very close and were swapping positions in the standings constantly. It was a great event with fair sailing and the Columbia Gorge Racing Association and Northwest Intercollegiate Sailing Association were excellent hosts along with all of their volunteer helpers. All of the collegiate teams raced hard and offered great competitive sailing.

ICSA/APS Team Racing Championship

May 25-27, 2011

Cascade Locks, OR

FJ's

The final day of racing at the Columbia River Gorge for the APS/ICSA National Championship has ended with Roger Williams University coming out on top to win the Walter C. Wood Memorial Trophy. Today was the culmination of three days of racing which included six round robins. The fourteen top collegiate team race teams in the country, representing the seven districts in the ICSA, gathered to compete for the championship. The Columbia Gorge Racing Association and the Northwest Intercollegiate Sailing Association organized a great event for the sailors as the regatta hosts.

The competitors arrived at the sailing venue to a steady 15-knot breeze and a cool 45 degrees. The sailors hit the water to complete the second round of the Gold Fleet round robin. There was close and exciting racing down to the end. The winds continued to gust in the 20 knot range and each team fought to move on. One team who sailed particularly well was the College of Charleston, who beat Boston College in a blustery race finishing with a solid 1,2,3. Charleston went 5-2 in the second round of the Gold Fleet and Boston College went 6-1 in the round, which advanced both of them to the Final Four.

Although St. Mary's College of Maryland sailed well in the second round, when their score from the second round was combined with their previous record it was not enough to advance them. The two other teams who moved on to the Final Four were Georgetown and Roger Williams. Roger Williams had been sailing very well through the whole event, until this morning when they lost the first races of the day. The Roger Williams sailors knew that they had to win all three races in the Final Four to win the event, "The break in the middle of the day - between the Gold Round and the Final Four - gave us a chance to get focused. They played the corn hole bean bag game and took their minds of the morning's races," explains Amanda Callahan head coach for Roger Williams.

Once Roger Williams hit the water, "they knew what the job was and they went out and did it," says Callahan. They were tied with Boston College going into the last race of the Final Four and the race was not short of excitement. Boston College was ahead at the start of the race and the pairings kept changing all over the course. By the leeward mark Boston College was spinning a penalty turn and Roger Williams advanced up the beat to win the race finishing with a first and second combination.

ICSA/Gill Co-ed National Championship

Cascade Locks, OR

May 30 - June 1, 2011

FJ

Today was the last day of the Gill/ICSA Dinghy National Championship. The winds on the Gorge cooperated and the competitors were able to get in a good day of racing. The westerly winds stayed steady around 10-12 knots gusting higher later in the day. Although it was chilly and wet at times, the sun peaked out a little bit too; today's weather was pretty typical of the last week at the Gorge. Both A-division and B-division completed 14 races in the event; four races in A-division today and six races in B-division were sailed on Windward/Leeward courses. In the end it was Boston College who commanded the lead and won the Henry A. Morse Memorial Trophy.

The day began with nice breeze so B-division was able to hit the water right away for the first races. It was a game of finding good pressure and riding it up the course. The steadier wind helped on the downwind legs so the sailors could fight the current and hold their boat positions a little better. The racing did stay close and compact, as it has been the last two days. In race 9B one of the leeward gate marks broke free and drifted upwind, so half of the fleet began to sail for it. Redress was filed for the loose mark and the conclusion was to re-sail the race. The mark was re-set and racing continued. Race 9B was re-sailed after race 12B; the old scores thrown out and the fair race scores were recorded.

In the end of the day the wind picked up with gusts around 18 knots. Before B-division took to the water for the last set of the day Boston College was 26 points ahead of Hobart who had 178 points and Harvard and Georgetown were tied with 185 points. It was left up to the B-division sailors to break ties and do what they could to extend leads or pass boats. The wind was quite strong which made the sailors work even harder for their scores. Before the last race Boston College had secured the championship and won the Dinghy title. Boston College sailed a smart regatta and defended their Dinghy National Championship title (which they won in 2010). Hobart and William Smith made a great comeback to finish the event in second place. Harvard also had a great event, staying consistently in the top of the fleet. When it came down to the last races and Harvard was tied with Georgetown, Harvard's B-division sailed one of the best runs in the whole regatta and just took the lead
