SUMMARY
The Wolverines traveled to Michigan State University to compete at Cedarfest. On Saturday, the team faced puffy 7-11 knot winds. The team worked hard to pay attention to the wind and connect the puffs. Race Committee completed 4 races in each division before a storm came in and racing was cancelled for the day. Consistency proved to be key as the team’s nearly all top 3 finishes placed the team in 1st overall going into Sunday. Sunday’s wind was much stronger and shiftier. Race Committee only got off one set before the wind was deemed too extreme for racing. Overall, B fleet won their division and the team placed 2nd overall!
A Michigan team was also sent to the University of Notre Dame to compete at the Shamrock Scramble. The regatta started on Saturday in 8-10 knot breeze. Throughout the day, the breeze picked up along with some rain. By the end of the day Race Committee completed 6 races in A division and 5 races in B division. The team did well in the wind and had almost all top 5 finishes! Day 2 began with a strong Westerly wind, but it quickly started dying. The regatta ended with a total of 10 races in each division. The Wolverines placed 4th overall!
