North Series #1 @ Kings Point

The Washington College sailing team finished 7th of 20 teams at the North Series #1 held April 1-2, 2006 at Kings Point USMMA. The team finsished strong after a slow start and took away many lessons they will use for future regattas. Sophomore skipper Alex Hood sailed to a fourth-place finish in A Division with sophomore crew Alexandria Starks and and freshman crew Derek Packard. Starks and Packard also shared crew duties in B Division as freshman Nick Larmore skippered Washington to a ninth-place finish in that Division.

Saturday's races began in a 10 mile per hour breeze from the south which escalated to a 45 miles per hour due to a cold front from the west and then died to a 0-8 mph zephyr from the north. Sunday's races were sailed under clear sunny skies, with temperatures in the 70s and a 4-12 mph breeze from the north.
