SUMMARY

The women’s team traveled to St. Mary’s College of Maryland on the weekend of October 12/13th. The first day of racing started off with a postponement. Eventually, race committee got the sailors on the water to take advantage of any fleeting wind. Race committee managed to get 5 races off in each division. The wolverines stayed focused in the light conditions and were in 7th at the end of the day. The second day of racing provided similar winds with a light Northeast 3-7 knot breeze. There were another 5 races in each division. Despite the challenging light and shifty conditions, the team had many top 5 finishes! The team ended the regatta in 9th overall.

The coed team traveled to Salve Regina University in Newport on the weekend of October 19/20th. On Saturday, the first few sets were sailed in a lighter Northwesterly breeze. This proved to be the team’s forte, as the Wolverines were winning the regatta after the first 5 races! After these first few sets, a strong Southwest 13-16 knot breeze filled in which made it easy for race committee to complete a total of 10 races in each division. The following day another 5 races were held in a dying Northerly wind. The Wolverines had a lot of fun at this regatta with some exciting races and sailing Larks for the first time! The team finished 10th overall.
