Conditions:
Today marked the registration, clinic, and
opening ceremonies for the 2006 U.S. Women's Sailing Championship for
the Mrs. Charles Francis Adams Trophy. This trophy was one of the
first women's sporting trophies and is among the most prestigious in the
sport of sailing.
Eleven teams of
women from all over the United States arrived at Edgewater Yacht Club
for the clinic, sponsored by Rolex
Watch U.S.A. Inc.
Opening Ceremonies followed the clinic,
presented by the International Order of the Blue Gavel, where officials,
host families, the teams themselves, a club flag line & trustees were
invited. Dry Creek Vineyard, a sponsor of US SAILING's adult
championships, provided the wine.
Tomorrow starts the first day of racing, which has
been shortened from five days to four this year. The number of
races will remain the same, but the shortened format should make for
better racing for the teams. The forecast is for cloudy skies, but
westerly breezes.
