NYYC Women’s Match Racing Clinic and Regatta - Day Four
Sorry for the late update, but we did not get home until 11 and we crashed immediately. Another Chamber of Commerce day in Newport with southwesterly 10-16 knot winds and sun. We had a better day of sailing and are looking forward more sailing today. We’re sailing against Lovell in the consolation semis then one more round after that.
Here is the press release from NYYC:
Newport, RI (May 22, 2009) - Another spectacular sailing day greeted the sailors at the New York Yacht Club Women’s Match Racing Clinic & Regatta with a second straight day of steady southwesterly breeze. A complete second round-robin was completed, as well as the first two races in the best of five semi-finals and consolation semi-finals. Anna Tunnicliffe, with her crew of Liz Bower and the two Mollys (Carapiet and Vandemoer), finished on top after the second round-robin, winning a tie-breaker for the top seed over Sally Barkow, with her crew Nancy Haberland, Dawn Riley and Suzy Leech. Both finished with impressive 13-1 records. Genny Tulloch, with Liz Hall, Jamie Haines and Chafee Emory finished third at 10-4, while Lotte Meldegaard Pedersen, with Sille Christensen, Christina Refn and Mia Nielsen rounded out the top four with a 7-7 record.
In the semi-finals, Tunnicliffe leads Pedersen 2-0, while Barkow leads Tulloch also by 2-0. In the consolation semi-finals, 5th seed Debbie Capozzi and 8th seed Marie Crump are tied 1-1. 6th seed Liz Baylis leads 7th seed Katy Lovell 2-0.
Racing concludes on Saturday with the remaining semi-final racing, followed by the finals and petit-finals. The top U.S. team will qualify to sail in the ISAF World Cup event in Weymouth, UK in September.
