Distance: 1500M Conditions: Strong, gusty headwind, slightly quartering from port, with whitecaps throughout the afternoon. Comments: Several lower boat races were started approximately 50M over the line for safety purposes - to avoid beaching boats. In the girls' first boat race, Taft (lane 2) was in first place when they caught a boat-stopping crab with approximately 20 M to go in the race. This caused them to veer into lane 1, forcing Berkshire to stop rowing. Berkshire rowed around the stopped Taft boat and finished the race. Berkshire's time was significantly impacted by Taft's crab. Taft did not finish the race. Other than Taft's DNF, the order of finish between Canterbury, Gunnery, and Berkshire was not affected by the event. Order of racing (interspersed with boys' boats): G6-G5-G4-G3-G2-G1
