December 2008 Tell Tale !!![http://www.mcsasail.org/images/telltalehead.gif]%%% Volume 62, Number 7 December 2008 !68th Professor Schell Trophy%%% !Massachusetts Institute of Technology%%% !November 1-2, 2008 Saturday: A beautiful day on the Charles with winds starting out from the NW at 5-7 knots, shifting to a frustrating NE at 5 knots by noon, and then all the way to an atypical SE seabreeze at 5 knots by late afternoon which died away. Courses were W5 or W3 depending on wind strength. 1 BKD was awarded for a broken clew and 11 other requests for redress for the same race were denied and resulted in 17 DSQ's from not sailing the course in Race 7. 18 races in both A and B division were sailed, with A in FJ's and B in Techs Saturday and then switched for the remaining 8 races on Sunday. Sunday: A beautiful day on the Charles with winds starting out from the NW at 5-7 knots, shifting to E at 12 knots by noon, and then all the way to an atypical SE seabreeze at late afternoon which died away. Sunday's breeze was squirrelly from the NE veering into the E then SE then S by the end of the afternoon. Congrats to the Crimson who held on to win by one point over their river rivals MIT. Thanks go to Fran Charles, Matt Lindblad, Zac Nelson, Jillian Reddy, Gwen Capron, Patrick Barrigan, Tevis Nichols,and Chuck Bernstein for running the races, to Wally Corwin, Smanatha Lewenberg and Conan Hom for Dock staff help, and to Dayan Paez and Toan Tran-Phu for scoring help.
