(Oct 6) The first fall regatta for the Y150 crews was a friendly home regatta, run by upstream neighbors New Haven Rowing Club. And the weather was friendly too, as it has been all fall.
Great conditions meant great racing, with some small boat rowing (1x and 2-s) preceding the big eights and the fours. As there were no lightweight categories, the Y150 took on heavyweight competition, and the team was able to find out more about racing over the longer 5k distance.
The eights finished first, third, and sixth, and the fours finished second, fourth, fifth, and seventh overall. The novice eight acquitted itself well, finishing sixth.
Also noticeable for their, um, spirit were four alumni lightweight eights, who threw down just like old times.
