USODA Team Racing Nationals - Day 1 Summary

Hello everyone - Day 1 of the 2008 USODA Team Racing Nationals was all anyone could have asked for - less the fog. The 20 teams left the beach of the Westhampton Yacht Squadron about an hour late but the wind cooperated and PRO's Wes Whitmyer (Green course) and Bill Crane (White Course) quickly got the races rolling. 45 races were sailed on each course completing the first round robin by 3:30 PM in 8 to 15 mph SW winds.

Full results are available at http://www.yachtsquadron.com/. On Day 2, the top five teams from each course will advance to one course where there will be a round-robin to determine the top four teams. The second course will have a round-robin for the remaining 6 gold fleet teams and the 4 silver fleet teams. It is planned that on Tuesday the top four gold fleet teams and the four silver fleet teams will sail off in semi-finals and finals.
