Summary

We sent a team of Wolverines to compete at the Laserperformance Team Race Nationals hosted by Old Dominion University. Sailing was tough, as we were competing against the best Team Race teams in the nation. 

On Saturday the Race Committee got off 96 races in 8-16 knots from the Southwest. Sunday we finished the remaining races of the first round robin. Conditions were similar with consistent 10-16 knots.

Overall our Team was able to stay competitive with the other teams. We came off strong with a win against USF to close out our time in the event.

Congratulations to Colton Gerber for sailing his final dinghy regatta this past weekend. We are looking forward to Coeds in the next few days!

Thanks to ODU for hosting the event, and to Tom Etheridge for hosting our sailors.
