John Jackson Memorial Team Race Regatta Georgetown University March 2, 2008
One round robin was completed on Sunday. Racing today featured the top four teams from the qualifying rounds at Navy and Georgetown. Racing started out with a light and shifty WNW wind which ended up shifting to the East and filling in to about 5-8mph. Competitors raced in 18 FJ's with full colored sails and 6 420's. Thanks to our umpires for volunteering their time this weekend to make sure the racing was both fun and fair. Judges on Sunday were Jeff Borland, Christine Accettella, Dave Pyron, Matt Jones, Andrew Cole.
The John Jackson Regatta is named after John T. Jackson Georgetown Class '03 who was a member of the sailing team while at Georgetown. John passed away in a tragic accident in Chicago the summer after he graduated. This is the fifth year of the John Jackson Regatta and first year of the dual format between Navy and Georgetown.
