2012 Western Hemisphere Championship

Results for six races on May 16-18 at Annapolis, Maryland, USA

Annapolis sailors Peter McChesney and Shane Zwingelberg had a great second day of racing at the Star Western Hemispheres, hosted at Annapolis YC. The team ended the day with a bullet and finished in the lead, by five points, in competition with 31 boats.

The day saw a lot of current and decent breeze that varied in strength depending on the side of the race course.

Final Day:
Two attempts were made to run race 7 at the minimum allowed length. Both were abandoned as the time limit for the first leg expired, the result of a strong adverse current. The current was about 1.6 - 1.8 knots, a strong lunar ebb boosted by flow caused by opening of the Conowingo dam on the Susquehanna.Â”
