Hawaii Leads Dinghies
Yesterday evening, the Team Racing banquet was held on the patio of
Austin Yacht Club to the tune of country music, family style BBQ,
pinatas, and (of course) a moonwalk. Texas was able to show the rest
of the country “how it’s done down South” as festivities continued
until the wee hours of the morning. All teams managed to show up this morning (however, some later than others) to begin the first day of the 2005 ICSA/Gill Co-ed Championships. Racing began after the
competitor’s meeting and a short inspirational speech by Gill’s North
American president Jerry Richards, who was disappointed that he could
only stay for one of the three days of the event.
With continuing luck on the weather front (sunny skies, 10-18 knots of wind, high of 95), six races were run in each division, producing the following top teams and their scores:
Hawaii 66
Hobart/William Smith 72
Dartmouth 75
Yale 78
Harvard 85
Tomorrow looks to be just as gorgeous for the second day of Co-eds, or as one Hawaii competitor put it, “Dude, this is awesome!”
Complete results, pictures and regular updates (several times a day)
are available on the ICSA Spring Championships Website at:
