Jesuit Open
October 3
Fantastic conditions provided great racing for the first Inter-Conference Jesuit Open! Breeze out of the ENE gave sailors stable, even, and predictable shifts putting a premium on starting and boat speed. Breeze held at 10-15 for more of the day. Breeze, quick rotations, and a experience Race Committee allowed the fleet to get in 10 races for both A and B divisions. Sailors were off the water approx. 5:30pm. A few protest were hailed on the water to Race Committee, none were officially filed on shore. 3-4 General recalls on the day.
