The prize presentation was a bit disorganized and ran about 1 hour over the scheduled conclusion but it was still a festive and happy event. The boys were not able to eat until 9pm and then spent the next couple of hours hanging out in the lobby with the other kids as the usual trading of country tee shirts and other merchandise went down, resembling a mid east bazaar.
Here is how the regatta panned out:
Sam - 24 2 14 (33) 12 (37) 26 17 3 18 5 - 37th
Rory - 22 39 (64\DNF) 29 12 24 (64\OCS) 23 37 19 32 - 87th
Michael - 31 20 11 20 45 20 (64\OCS) 25 (64\OCS) 12 64\OCS - 94th
Chase - 55 58 (64\DNF) 58 58 56 (64\OCS) 35 34 36 39 - 169th
Sam did very well but had hoped to do better. He did have three top ten finishes. Inconsitency prevented him from finishing higher.
Rory was fairly consistent and improved throughout the regatta.
Michael sailed extremely well considering that he is away at school and unable to practice as much. His three OCS's hurt him badly in the last 2 days.
Chase struggled early in the big breeze but showed a gain in confidence and good progress in the last half of the regatta.
Overall I was very happy with the way the boys sailed and conducted themselves on and off the water. They represented themselves, their families and their country well and it was a pleaseure to be on the trip with them.
Good luck to Rory at his event in the Dominican Republic and Chase at the US Nationals coming up!
