Sixteen college teams competed in the Southern Collegiate Offshore Regatta held February 11-12 in Charleston, SC. With racing held in two divisions using PHRF handicaps, the six-race series faced a range of conditions. The hosts College of Charleston and CORA (Charleston Offshore Racing Association) did a great job getting in relatively short course races inside Charleston Harbor. The first day consisted of using only main and jib, due to steady and strong 15-20 knot winds with 35 knot gusts. The sailing on Sunday provided exciting and challenging racing conditions. PHRF B Division was dominated by well-sailed J/105s. The University of South Carolina won with the J/105 RUCKUS, owned by Patrick Chisum, Russell Smith and Paul Jacques. The Gamecocks team posted a consistent scoreline of 1-3-4-2-1-1 for 12 points. Just one point back and battling the Gamecocks the entire weekend were the Tigers. Taking the silver was Princeton University
