SUMMARY

The Southern New England Team Race started Saturday off with a westerly breeze. RC finished Round 1 with a strong breeze. Quickly after beginning Round 2, the breeze started getting very shifty. The unpredictable breeze resulted in many capsizes and auto tacks which made RC decide to end for the day. Sunday started with a N/NW breeze. RC finished 80% of Round 2 resulting in 18 races total. The Wolverines learned a lot and improved throughout the weekend.

St Mary’s Women’s Interconference also had strong wind on Saturday. The breeze was a shifty 14-18 knots which allowed RC to get 10 races off. Our sailors worked through the trying conditions and improved throughout the day. B Fleet won a race! Sunday started off slower. After a 3 hour delay, sailors finally hit the water. A strong breeze quickly filled in and RC got another 4 races off.
