Races were postponed until noon at which point some nice breeze between 8-12 mph moved in. A rotation got in two races, but as the B division was sent out fog moved in heavily to the point nobody could see the windward and leward marks simultaneously. Racing was postponed until 2pm at which point the fog had gotten worse and racing was called for the day. Sunday was blessed with beautiful weather in the morning as winds between 5-10 mph made racing smooth. Windward-leward races were changed to twice-arounds as the wind continued to build to between 12-15 mph. After mid-morning however, the wind died during the last rotation and made for some interesting racing as northeastern swells rocked boats around. One protest and two requests for redress were filled. The protest resulting in both boats being disqualified because damage and injury occurred and both requests for redress were denied. <verbatim> 1 Wisconsin 2 16 17 33 2 Wisconsin 1 25 12 37 3 Michigan 1 19 22 41 4 Notre Dame 1 21 30 51 5 Northwestern 1 28 29 57 6 Notre Dame 2 41 33 74 7 U Chicago 34 52 86 8 Northwestern 3 58 38 96 9 Milwaukee 39 81 120 10 Northwestern 2 66 59 125 11 Michigan 2 65 61 126 12 Great Lakes 74 61 135 13 Iowa 70 66 136 14 Carlteon 88 79 167 15 Illinois 83 94 177 16 Michigan Tech 95 84 179 A Division TOT 1.

Chief Umpire Angelo Buscemi pulled together a total of 10 umpires from around the country to make the on-water calls. When the dust settled, Navy was on top with 6 wins and 1 loss while St, Marys, KP, Washington College, SUNY and Maine are in a 5 way tie for second each with 5 wins and 2 losses. Sunday: For the third year straight, the Intrepid Trophy Regatta came down to a tie breaker among the top 4 teams. Maine Maritime, SUNY, KP and Navy each finished the round with 9 wins and 2 losses apiece. The tie was broken first by determining who among the top 4 had more wins against those teams. Both Maine and SUNY had 2 wins while KP and Navy had only one. Maine had beaten SUNY which allowed them to stake claim to the overall title. SUNY wound up second while KP by virtue of beating Navy took third with Navy in fourth. All of the competitors displayed excellent keelboat skills and most teams had their match race moves in order as well. The Intrepid Trophy Regatta is applying to ISAF to be recognized as a Grade 3 match race event for this year and the future so competing skippers will ultimately earn ISAF match race ranking. <verbatim> Wins Losses 1.
