Submitted by Oli Rosenbladt. Distance: ~1700 Conditions: Tail current, diminishing tailwind as racing went on, calm/flat water. Overcast & cool. Comments: Girls 6th Boat: MPS 4:26.64, Choate 6 4:35.87, Choate 7th 4:43.98 Race order was G3/G6/G4/G5/G2/G1, alternating with boys racing. Due to strong following current, the racecourse was lengthened by 200 meters, and races were not aligned consistently relative to the starting line. G2 started on the line, G1, G3, G5 started slightly below the line, and G6 and G4 started well below the line. A tremendous day of racing by all competitors! Between the boys and girls racing, a half dozen races came down to margins of less than one second.
