Central Series One
Tufts University
Upper Mystic Lake
9/12/2009 - 9/13/2009
SATURDAY:
16 teams arrived to a rainy and misty day on the Upper Mystic today. Though it was overcast and wet, good breeze and good competition made for a fun and full day of racing and spectating for all.
In the morning the breeze oscillated between NNE and N before settling just shy of N for the remainder of the afternoon, blowing 8-12 for most of the day with a few brief moments of both bigger breeze and lighter air . Six races were sailed in each division. All races were W4's with a windward offset.
At the skippers meeting competitors were encouraged to sail clean and settle things on the water--throughout the day there was some spinning but no protests were filed. There were two breakdowns, one which was resolved in between races and one which resulted in redress being granted.
Having just graduated this past spring, while I was itching to do some racing, it was fun as hell to watch everyone bombing around in the most fun boats in college sailing.
Thanks to the jumbo undergrads and Lara Hwa '09 for keeping things on shore buttery smooth. Special thanks to Meghan Pesch '11 for scoring and Albert Nichols '13 for helping out in the RC boat and getting creative when the starter box shat the bed. Thanks to McGill for driving far to make this an international regatta.
Report time for Sunday is 9:30. Forecast looks to be a bit lighter and shiftier but hopefully there will be sunshine.
Full results including names will be sent out tomorrow after racing.
SUNDAY:
Teams arrived to a sunny but windless day at the Jumbodome. After some quality time relaxing and enjoying the warm weather and beautiful look of sunshine on the trees surrounding a glassy mystic, a sketchy northwesterly began to fill.
Boats were sent out but ultimately returned to the dock for more chilling after about 10 minutes of drifting and extremely variable winds.
Finally, a weak 3-5 WNW breeze, though spotty, settled enough to set a course and pop off 2 short A-Division W2's timed just to the point that breeze filled at about 30 seconds to the gun and died after 95% of the fleet crossed the finish line.
B Division came out to find a slightly different story; 5-7 knots of breeze and considerably smaller shifts than A. W4's were sailed.
Though the breeze continued to build enough throughout the day for W4s, filling to a steady 8-12 by the time we packed it in, a strange pattern did seem to develop; slightly better than mediocre breeze with unpredictable shifts in A division, and steadier breeze with more regularly oscillating shifts in B.
Nonetheless, good racing was had by all, and those who've never sailed at Tufts finally got the opportunity to learn what often makes mystic lake pretty darn mystical.
5 races were sailed in each division today making that 11 per division for the weekend. No protests were filed. Breakdown points were awarded for a broken bridal in the last B race.
Thanks to Dan Slate '11 for scoring, helping move marks, and all and all keeping it real. Thanks to all the competitors for being respectful and helpful, and congratulations to Boston University for winning the first central series of the fall!
