The ICSA sailors defeated the visiting British sailors 2-1 in the 2019 Lord King Match Race. The racing took place out of the US Naval Academy on Tuesday September 17 in two of the Academy's Navy 44s.
As a courtesy to the visiting sailors, BUSA was given the option to choose either: Starboard entry for race one (and race three if necessary), or pick which of the Navy 44s to race in. Seeing as the fleet of 44s are all equal, the savvy Brits chose starboard entry.
