SUMMARY

Day one of Freshman Icebreaker, held at Notre Dame, started off after an hour delay with very light wind. Race Committee was only able to complete 5 races. A fleet finished three races and B fleet finished two races. Our sailors learned a lot about starting strategies and reading wind shifts.

Heading into Sunday, the wind was a little stronger and six more races were able to be completed. With better conditions, our Wolverine 1 A fleet was able to maintain their lead and finished the competition in 1st. Our Wolverine 1 B fleet team also won their division with an impressive score of all firsts. Both teams had fun and improved a lot over the weekend!
