ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Navy's offshore sailing team concluded its fall racing schedule this past weekend after placing sixth at the Kennedy Cup in Annapolis.
 
The Midshipmen hosted the nine-team event for the ICSA Big Boat Championship on the Chesapeake Bay on the fleet of Navy 44s.
 
On Saturday, Navy got off to a slow start where just two races were completed in a light wind.
 
Following crew changes heading into the final day of racing on Sunday, the Midshipmen came out strong and capped off the weekend with a victory in the final race of the event. However, Navy's rally fell three points short of the podium and just missed the top five by a point.
 
Navy's crew was co-skippered by Hayden Kuzemchak and Katie Boyle and included Tim Forman, Zachary Krause, Kevin Navarro, Anirudh Murali, Ben Van Duyne, Don Poirier, Gary Munsell and Connor Hallett. 
 
The Midshipmen will return to action in February 2020 when they start their spring season in Charleston, S.C.
