SUMMARY

Emma Biagioni sailors started the regatta off on Saturday in great conditions. There was a SSE breeze averaging 11 knots. These conditions allowed for eight races to be completed. After the first day, the team was sitting in 2nd place. Sunday’s breeze was much stronger averaging a steady 17 knots. The Wolverines were able to hold their own in the big breeze. After completing four more races, the team ended up in 3rd place. Thank you to Macatawa Bay Yacht Club for hosting!

Our other sailors were at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta in Chicago. The team sailed well on Saturday winning a race and positioned tied for 2nd going into Sunday. Sunday brought strong 20-25 knots winds from the West and more exciting racing. The team finished 3rd place overall!
