Sunday: Connecticut College: After waiting for the fog to clear. We finished the first round of the Gold fleet and started a Second round robin. The first few races of the second round ended in over 15 protests. After speaking with all the coaches, we decided to try to continue to race and hope that we would not end the day with 50 protests. The racing got better as the day went on and the judges only had 10 protests to end the day. 35 protests were heard in total over the weekend. A big thank you to Amanda Callahan for being the ICSA rep and the judges for handling protests. As an organization we probably need to figure out how to move forward with team racing. It is clear that the days of sailing in great breeze and handling racing on the water is coming to an end. The breeze was South @ 5-11. Congratulations to Georgetown for winning the SNE. Total Scores from Round 1 and 2 of Gold Fleet:

Georgetown 11-3

Roger Williams 9-5(Won Tie Break)
