This weekend the Worlds Team travelled down to Larchmont Yacht Club to compete in the 2009 Storm Trysail Intercollegiate Regatta. Many of us did this event last year and had such a great time that we had to make it back for round 2. Having placed second overall last year at this event, we decided that we could not settle for anything less than first. For the second year in a row we sailed with Rich du Moulin on his Express 37 Lora Ann.
The first day of sailing was an exiting one on Long Island Sound. We saw a strong cold breeze out of the northwest. The breeze started in the morning at about 6kts which quickly built to a solid 16-22kts with gusts up to 26kts. The Rams handled the breeze well and managed 3 bullets.
The second day of racing was much lighter and extreme shifts gave us some scares but patience and teamwork prevailed and today ended with 3 more bullets. Results put us first in class (1st of 4) and first overall (1st of 40) winning the Hoffman Trophy.
