Summary

The Wolverine team traveled to Chicago to compete at Columbia Yacht Club. The teams sailed J 105s which no Michigan sailors had experience in, so it was a great test of the team’s quick learning and communication skills. The wind was very strong and led to very exciting racing. Michigan won 3 of the 8 races due to quick upwind boat speed and being able to pass boats with well executed boat handling. Congratulations to our Wolverine Sailors for a great regatta and a great win!
