Darien Scores and Standings, Sept. 1

UPDATES

Rowing:  The U.S. lightweight men’s double sculls team of Rowayton's Brian de Regt and New Haven's Jon Winter finished fourth in its quarterfinal Wednesday at the World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovakia.

The team missed the first-level semifinal and a chance to reach the "A" final, but it still has an opportunity to qualify for the Olympics next year in London.

To do that, de Regt and Winter must finish among the top 11 boats at the world championships. They now drop into the the "B" level competition.

• Yachting: The 77th annual Stamford Yacht Club Vineyard race gets under way on Friday.

More than 90 boats from Fairfield and Westchester Counties will participate in the 238-mile race, which takes sailors to Buzzards Bay in Cape Cod and back to the Stamford Yacht Club.

After Irene hit, there was some concern that the race might have to be cancelled.  However, the SYC received minimal damage, allowing the race to begin on time.

First contested in 1932, the Vineyard Race takes place annually on Labor Day weekend.

The fastest time to complete the course was set by Blue Yankee in 2007. Skippered by Bob and Farley Towse of Stamford, it covered the course in 20 hours, 20 minutes and 15 seconds.
