There was only time for one full round robin to be completed on Saturday, which was a chilly and rainy day for everyone! Sunday brought much warmer temps and some sunshine on the Thames River. After a slight wind delay the southerly filled for ideal team racing and a top six and bottom six were sailed.
Charleston came back with a vengeance in the top six round winning four out of five races and propelling themselves back to the top of the list. Also, similar to their first round, Yale had a strong showing with a record of 3-2, while the rest of the teams all went 2-3. Yale won the event overall with a final record of 13-3, Hobart and Charleston tied for second with records of 11-5 and Boston College and Stanford both had a record of 10-6.
