Sailing finishes fourth at PCCSC Open Team Race Championship
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – By winning 11 of 21 round robin races throughout the weekend-long PCCSC Team Race Championship, hosted by Stanford in Redwood City, California, Cal Maritime secured fourth place in this dinghy championship event.
Ryan Downey, Max Roth, Conner Skewes and Kawika Tumlowicz served as skippers for the Keelhaulers throughout the weekend; Charles Bedford, Jayden Benedict, Logan Chapman and Etienne Quille also competed throughout the weekend as members of CSUM's crews.
By winning all 21 races, Stanford won the event, followed by UC Santa Barbara and Hawai'i. Since the Gauchos and Rainbow Warriors finished with matching 15-6 race records, a tiebreaker based on head-to-head results, led to the Gauchos officially finishing second and the Rainbow Warriors capturing third.
UC Santa Barbara won two of three head-to-head races.
Each team sailed three boats in each race throughout a regatta that used a preliminary double round robin format, followed by a double round of the top four teams from the preliminary round. Teams qualified for subsequent rounds based on the cumulative number of wins earned each round. Teams that do not qualify will secure an overall finish for this regatta based on the win total from their last round sailed.
Finishing fifth through eighth place, respectively, were UCLA, Cal, Cal Poly and UC Santa Cruz.
Cal Maritime's next regatta will take place on April 15-16 at the Rainier Cup, hosted by Western Washington in Portland.
