Oberg Trophy @ MIT by Northeastern in 3 divisions of FJs & Techs

Results

Saturday: Beautiful Fall day for sailing on the Charles River.  Thirty races
were completed (10 in each division) in 8-12kts out of the Northwest.
 Courses were 3 & 4 leg Windward/Leeward with an offset and leeward gate.
 Two Protests  and one Redress were heard resulting in DSQs for Coast Guard
and Salve Regina, and Redress to Harvard.  The Brown Bears have a
significant lead with 5 straight 1st place finishes in B division, and the
MIT Beavers are the top Greater Boston team.

Thanks to NU Husky sailors Matt Wood, Marshall McLean, Angela Lukstein,
Colin Henderson, Olin Nelson, Lily Nelson, Moussa Dilombi, Alex Plum, Kate
Boerma and Zach Shapiro for their help throughout the day on Race Committee,
Scoring & the dock.

Also, a big thanks to MIT Sailing Master Fran Charles for help with Race
Committee, and Dockmaster Wally Corwin for help with breakdowns and docks.


Sunday:  Great day for rowing crew shells, not a great day for sailing.
 Wind was 0-2 kts from all directions and racing was cancelled at 12:30pm.

Brown wins in points, but MIT captures the Oberg Trophy as the top school
from Greater Boston.

Thanks to Franny Charles, Matt Lindblad, Wally Corwin, Gwen Capron & the NU
Husky sailors for helping to run this event.
