From the event · all championship races
Forecasts are our own course-weather briefs from 08:00 each morning. Wind on the water is the CBIBS Annapolis buoy off the Severn, about 5 km north of the racing area. Race reports come from the class and sailing press.
Expect to wait: 9 of 12 model runs under 5 kt at the 11:00 first warning, then the breeze backing S and building to 6 to 8 kt from 14:00.
Leebow course weather, 08:00 ET
The class reports a two-hour postponement before a light southerly let the race committee complete three races; Sail-World has 6-8 knots and the current adding a layer of strategy. The buoy read 8 to 10 kt from 161–177° during the races.
J/70 Class final releaseSail-World day 1CBIBS Annapolis buoy (NDBC 44063)
The first gun went at 13:25 local. Left paid on both beats of race 2 and the first of race 3. Progress scored 1, 12, 1 and led on 14 points. Sagara had 4, 4 and then the 26 that became its discard. The day's start scores were the lowest of the regatta on average.
WNW 7 kt at the 11:00 warning, veering into the NW (a right shift) around 11:25 in 12 of 12 runs, then building toward 10 kt.
Leebow course weather, 08:00 ET
The press reports sun, warm temperatures and a steady 8-14 knots. The buoy read 12 to 14 kt from about 300°.
Sail-World day 2J/70 Class day 2CBIBS Annapolis buoy (NDBC 44063)
The first gun was at 11:10 local. Neither side paid on the first beats of races 4 and 5, and big swings on the runs reshuffled the middle of the fleet. OceanPact (11, 1, 4) and Sagara (2, 12, 3) took over the top at 24 and 25 with discards now in play; Progress fell back with 25, 23 and 15.
NNE 11 kt at the warning, easing all afternoon and veering NE (a right shift) around 14:05 in 8 of 12 runs; by 15:00 half the runs under 5 kt.
Leebow course weather, 08:00 ET
The class has 10-15 knots for the first race and 5-10 for the second. The first warning was moved up an hour to fit a third race, which was not sailed. The buoy read 14 kt in race 7 and 10 in race 8.
J/70 Class final releaseJ/70 Class day 2J/70 Class day 3CBIBS Annapolis buoy (NDBC 44063)
Sagara scored 7 and 1 and OceanPact 9 and 2, which turned a one-point deficit into a two-point lead, 33 to 35. Wicked won race 7, its second of the regatta. No race was sailed on Sunday, so that was the series.
Public interviews add the crews’ perspective. A track can show a recovery or a change in pace; it cannot establish what someone intended, how they trimmed, or why equipment failed.
Owner, Sagara
“We got a lot better each day with our boat handling. We made a lot of small changes to get a little bit of boat speed. I think that really helped us on the third day of the regatta.”
Sailing ScuttlebuttJ/70 Class final release
Sagara's Saturday was its best day on the scoreboard, 7 and 1. The tracking shows the results; it cannot separate boat speed from the tactical calls behind them.
Owner, Hedgehog, Corinthian winner
“We really focused on our communications and letting Keith get us around the course. I think we all did a better job than we have in the past at giving him the information he needs.”
Sailing ScuttlebuttJ/70 Class final release
Hedgehog finished ninth overall. Communication on board isn't visible in the tracks.
Tactician, Hedgehog
“We already have high trust because we're friends. We speak the same language.”
A statement about the crew; the tracks don't speak to it.

Sail-World daily reports; the class site carries the same days.
All entries, points and status codes; still labelled Preliminary by the scorer.
Six-minute wind at 3 m, 5 km north of the racing area. Thomas Point agrees to within a knot in most races; Naval Academy reads far lighter and was not used.
No wind data from the boats. The buoy is a single point 5 km north of the racing area, not the wind at each boat, and angles and speeds from the tracks are over the ground.
Finish times are estimates from the tracking. Official places and points stand.
Races 6 and 8 keep their starts, earlier legs, replay and official places; final legs and finish times are withheld because the crossings could not be supported for enough of the fleet.
A start scores 1 when the tracking has the boat over the line at the gun: nine in race 1 by up to 10 m, one in race 2 and two in race 7. The scorer penalised none of them, so these are readings, not OCS calls.
No interview or winners' talk recording could be found; voices here are from written press.
The fleet
Sagara won on 33 points after a series with one bad number, the 26 it threw out in race 3. OceanPact was two behind with a 22 to discard, GARM ten further back. The gap between the top three and the rest was built in the middle of the regatta: nobody else was within 16 points on Saturday night. Paul Green's Progress led with a 1, 12, 1 on Thursday, then scored 25 and 23 in the first two races of the northwesterly and finished sixth.
The three days gave three different regattas. Thursday was a light southerly after a long wait, Friday a northwesterly in the low teens, and Saturday a northerly that faded between the two races. Sagara's worst race came in the light air, and Wicked won race 4 and race 7, both in breeze, and came back to 18th when it eased in race 8.
The start score shows what a start was worth. A point of score at the gun, before the lane shows, was worth about four places two minutes in and nearly three at the finish. A boat that held its lane in clear air through the first minute was in the top third two minutes in 48% of the time (74 of 153); one that lost its lane, 14% (21 of 147). Sagara and GARM had the two best average scores in the fleet. Toro started about as well as OceanPact and finished 47th, giving away 38 places on the first beat of race 3 alone.
Look for the parts of the race that repeatedly separated the boats: the opening two minutes, the first windward mark, pace on the beats and runs, and the cost of each turn. The strongest links to finishing place sit at the top of the chart below.
Thursday: the left paid on 3 beats and the right on 0, of 6; Friday: the left paid on 0 beats and the right on 2, of 6; Saturday: no side paid clearly on 4 beats. Use the race explorer to see where those gains opened up.

Speed and mode
Whole-leg VMG includes route choices and turns. The scatter compares speed and angle during steady sailing; its diagonal is an approximate guide to that trade-off. A faster boat can give the gain back by sailing too low; a higher boat still needs enough pace.

The fleet comparison above uses each boat’s event median. These points show the selected boats race by race, on their own scale. Labels identify races; the readout shows how many beats contributed.

The mode estimate combines separate medians of steady speed and angle with a linear approximation. It excludes turns and is not an average of race VMG. The whole-leg index includes the entire run or beat; 100 matches the race fleet. Angles use the course axis rather than measured wind at each boat. Ground tracks cannot separate current, shifts and trim, so this is not a measurement of straight-line true-wind VMG. Adding a race can move these measures in opposite directions.
Each large dot is a boat's median across the races; the small dots are Sagara's and OceanPact's individual races. Right is higher (upwind) or deeper (downwind) than the race fleet, up is faster. The gold diagonal is equal VMG with the middle of the fleet, and each parallel rung is about one percentage point of steady-mode VMG. The large dot combines separate speed and angle medians; it is not the whole-leg result in the grid.
Speeds are over the ground and include current and leeway. Compare the boats race by race.
Race by race
Follow the fleet or frame the whole course. Everything below the replay follows the race you pick.
Progress (USA 385) won from Aretê (BRA 226), GARM (380), Sagara (USA 94) and PATAKIN ESP 34 (ESP 34), on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 points. The wind sat near 177 degrees and moved between 168 and 186, and the leaders' positions showed no preferred side on either beat.
The first run did the most reshuffling. TÔ NESSA (BRA 497) gained 14 places, Derecho (027) and Sitella (USA 340) gained 9 each, and Surprise (USA 14) lost 24.

Sagara: a regatta won between the marks
Sagara won on 33 net points by out-sailing the fleet between the marks. Over five races it gained 71 seconds a race upwind and 51 downwind on the middle of the fleet, against 8 from the starts.
Starts that held a lane
Five of Sagara's eight starts were front-row starts, meaning 6.2 or better, and the average was 6.4 out of 10. Line, speed and height at the gun were each a little better than a typical J/70 start, and the lane held through the first minute in seven of the eight.
Race 7 had the best start at 8.0 and the boat was fourth two minutes after the gun, then finished seventh. Race 8 is the odd one: a front-row start, yet the lane did not hold and the boat was 22nd two minutes after the gun. It won the race.
Where the discard came from
Race 3 was thrown out: a start of 6.4 had the boat seventh two minutes after the gun, then the first beat lost 8 places, the first run another 6, and it finished 26th. The tracking shows where the places went and not why, so the crew's memory of that first beat is the better evidence for what to test.
Edge over the next boat
Against OceanPact (641) over the same five races, Sagara was slower upwind by 33 seconds a race and made it back with 21 downwind and 21 in tacks, finishing 11 seconds a race ahead.
On Saturday tacks lost 5.2 metres a turn less than the fleet and downwind speed was 7.4 percent faster. Speeds in this event are over the ground, so how much of that downwind speed was pressure or technique is an open question.
