*NEISA Womens Dinghy New England Championship for the Reed Trophy @ Tufts University
*Sunday April 28th* Sunday morning brought a beautiful, warm, oscillating E and SE 4-10kt breeze to idyllic Mystic Lake, where racing for the Reed Trophy began this morning on time shortly after 10am. However, with occasional shifts as far right as SW, a few races were abandoned in order to keep racing fair. 4 races in A Division and 6 races in B Division were completed for 10 races in each, with 2 protests disallowed and breakdown points given once for a broken main halyard. W6's and W5's were used to keep races appropriately long, with courses set far away from the treeline to reduce any truly bizarre conditions at the weather mark. Thanks to Matt Cohen of MIT for running a fantastic event as PRO in extraordinarily challenging conditions. Thanks to judges Art Rousmaniere, Lianne Dusek, Greg Kiely, Linda Epstein, and Jon Garrity for hearing the few protests that we had. Thanks as well to the Tufts undergrads that were able to help out, with Julie Pringle, Amanda Sommi, and Kate Shaner helping on RC while James Moody and Emily Lynn ran the mark boat. In addition, preparing our aging fleet for this peak level event has been a challenge that the Tufts undergrads have handled wonderfully. Thank you from a grateful Assistant Coach, the boats sailed very well. We love our Larks, and we hope all competitors enjoyed sailing them as well. Congrats to BC for winning this years Womens New Englands Championship handily, and to Yale, URI, Dartmouth, Tufts, Connecticut College, Roger Williams, USCGA, and Brown for qualifying their teams for the ICSA National Semi-Finals.
