Atlantic Coast Championships

- Severn Sailing Association
- Annapolis, MD
The 2003 APS Laser Atlantic Coast Championship concluded this past weekend in Annapolis, Maryland. This was the 8th time Severn Sailing Association has hosted the event. It was a fantastic turnout, with 106 competitors coming from Canada and 15 U.S. states, including Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Michigan.
Conditions were less than ideal both days. Saturday was a chilly, gray day. After about a 1 hour wait for the wind to fill and veer through 280 degrees, we got a start off. The RC was using a mid-line boat in order to start the entire 106 boats at once (no splitting the fleet in this class)! The velocity played tricks on the RC all day (as did a few anchors) and only two races were completed on Saturday.
On Sunday we were postponed ashore for a couple of hours due to some seriously thick fog. I guess that's what happens when the water temps are 20 degrees cooler then the air. Once it appeared to beging to lift, the RC sent us out to rendezvous at the mouth of the Severn River where we found solid breeze and some nice waves. After about 30 minutes, as the fleet assembled, the US Coast Guard Auxiliary took an interest in 106 boats dancing around in the once-again thickening fog. Turns out that there was a severe weather warning in effect. This official pressure nixed our racing for the day, and the regatta.
What about the severe weather, you may ask. Well, by about 3pm you needed to lather up with some sunscreen - otherwise you were going to burn to a crisp. Oh, and the breeze kicked up to a solid 15-18 knots. But by then everybody was heading home.
Scott Ferguson (Jamestown, RI) took home the top honors with a 1,2. He was also the top Apprentice Master (age 35-44). In second place was Dan Neri (Rhode Island) with a 5,5. Dan was the top Master (age 45-54). In third place overall was Great Grand Master (age 65+) Peter Seidenberg (Portsmouth, RI) who proved yet once again that age simply does not matter in this great sport. Peter carded two sixths.
Rounding out the top five was Alden Shattuck (Annapolis, MD) in fourth place. Alden was also the top Grand Master (age 55-64). 5th place went to Andrew Campbell (San Diego, CA). Top female was Diane Burton (Annapolis, MD) 49th overall. Top junior (age 18 and under) was Patrick Curran (Moorestown, NJ) 16th overall.
