The predicted northerly breeze did not materialize on Day 4, leaving the competitors drifting for most of the day before the race committee sent them home at 3 pm with no races in hand. Megan Grapengeter-Rudnick’s position at the head of the pack seems unlikely to change, but the minor podium places are up for grabs with second through eighth separated by 10 points. It all comes down to a thrilling final day.

Two teams new to the podium earned race victories today, but the Megan Grapengeter-Rudnick and Team Vigilant remained relentless in their pursuit of this trophy and extended their lead over second to a whopping 30 points. Behind them, it's a dogfight for second, with seven teams separated by just 10 points with five races remaining in this historic regatta.

A classic seabreeze on Rhode Island Sound allowed for three competitive races on Day 2 of the inaugural edition of this historic women's championship.

Can the local team, representing Sail Newport, continue to sail with such pace and tactical acumen? Only time will tell.
