All races we entered had 7 boats and I'll report the win-loss record for the day as it SHOULD appear in the Phillipian:
G4 raced in the G3 race; finishing 4th they beat 3, G3 crews from other schools, so 3 and 3 on the day
G3 won, so 6 and 0 on the day
G2 finished 2nd, so 5 and 1 on the day
G1 was in a close race with Exeter for first (both boats well out on the field) when they hit a buoy and caught a boat stopping crab; they finished 4th, so 3 and 3 on the day.
It was a strong west wind at Lake Quinsig, where the crews race in a southerly direction; thus it was a cross wind from starboard.
The aligners and starting officials had a very difficult job getting the 7 crews aligned and pointed correctly for the start. (When there is a cross wind, the bows point hard into the wind, which is difficult for the coxswains to control)
The boats were aligned as best as they could manage, but it was not ideal.
