SFWMRT at 2008 USWMRC - Final
The quarter-finals went according to the seeding with Tulloch, SFWMRT, Tunnicliffe-Funk, and Fisher winning their pairs. This left Tulloch to choose her Semi-final opponent and she chose JoAnn Fisher which left the SFWMRT against Tunnicliffe-Funk in the other semi-final pair. Anna won the first match, we won the second match in a very spirited match that had a lot of exciting match racing elements (many flags, luffing, carrying past laylines, etc.). So, it came down to the 3rd race to decide who would go on to the finals and Anna’s team got ahead and stayed there to advance. We faced JoAnn Fisher in the Petit-Finals which we won 2-0. Anna went on to win the Finals 2-0 over Genny Tulloch to take the Championship. Congratulations to Anna and her team – they sailed fast and had a great regatta.
We feel that we sailed a very good regatta and are happy with our performance. Sure, we wish we had won, but we feel we sailed well and our match racing was improved over our recent events which made us happy.
The regatta websites have updates: http://www.rochesteryc.com/ or http://www.ussailing.org/championships/adult/women/uswmrc/
We have a few more events on our schedule this year including new events in Pusan, Korea and St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
