SUMMARY

The first of these regattas was Emma Biagioni. The team traveled to Hope college to compete. The warm, medium wind weekend gave perfect conditions for a first regatta. The team ended up top 3 overall!

The following weekend, the team hosted the Cary Price Memorial Regatta at our very own Baseline Lake! The team used this opportunity to get many sailors on the water; by the end of the weekend, 8 Wolverines sailed in the regatta! The team had a fun time hosting and gaining lots of experience.

The Pere Marquette Regatta was the next weekend. We sent all new members to this regatta! The wind was very strong gusting up to 28 knots, but the team stepped up to the challenge. They worked through the conditions and had some top 5 finishes!

This past weekend, six Michigan sailors traveled to Northwestern University to compete at the Morton Schapiro Phd Regatta. Although there were some postponements on Saturday due to high wind, the Race Committee was able to complete ten races. Overall, the Wolverines placed 5th!

Throughout these 4 regattas, we’ve had eleven team members attend their first regatta! The new member class is very strong and gaining experience quick!
