REGATTA HIGHLIGHTS: JM Modisette and Emma Bassein led a clinic in the morning which demonstrated rigging fundamentals as well as maneuvering in a collegiate FJ. Most sailors had never experienced a boat with the jib leads so far aft that the crews need to face backwards while sailing upwind as well as a boat which dramatically increases boat speed after tacking or gybing. Along with a monsoon, light breezes settled in to the Charles River after lunch allowing six races to be completed. Courses were W/L twice around with a leeward gate in MITs colorful fleet of FJs. Chief judge Bill Collins had no business from the protest room as all disputes were settled by turns on the water. Franny Charles, Jr was the event chair. Congratulations to winners Evan Cooke and Kaleigh Hagood from Annisquam YC who dominated the competition with only top 3 finishes. Manchester YC's Jenny Adler and Jeff Goodrich as well as Alex Cook with Darby Smith from Eastern YC qualified along with the winners to represent Mass Bay at the New England Championship this coming weekend in Scarborough, Maine.
