Brown's Tyler Rice Crushes B division and the Nachos. 2013 Dark of Night Regatta at Upper Mystic Lake, Medford
A beautiful day gave way to a very gorgeous but light air evening in Medford. As a contrast to the previous two evenings, temps were normal but the wind dropped to South on average, shifty, and only one knot for the first three races. Race 4 saw three knots and a longer course. The course was reach in, leeward, windward, reach back with start/finish right next to the Bacow Sailing Pavilion. The last race had an added windward/leeward with gates at top and bottom. All marks were dimly lit with withering flashlights. Officially there were not enough races to make the regatta official, nor was there a enough wind at the start to make any races really official but they were fair enough to determine the best team for the evening. The lights on the boats were bright enough to see the jib and to see every other boat. A spectacular sunset was replaced by the bright glow of the moon lighting up the high wispy clouds. Back at the boathouse there was hot chocolate and nachos with great tunes reaching out to the starting line from the high deck. A few teams were treated to dinner back on campus in the dining hall. Tech Score will not be complete until next week (maybe sooner) but there were four races; A, then B, then A, then B though at present Tech Scores just shows it as one division http://scores.collegesailing.org/f13/dark-night/ There are also photos via https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.759583767401124.1073741853.423900690969435&type=3 Thanks to scorekeepers Alex Tong and Sara Makaretz, port-line boat operators, David Liebenberg, Sam Madden, Alec, and Will.
