Saturday challenged every sailor with freezing conditions and winds at 15 knots
gusting to the upper 20’s. Courses were W4s. Athletes were brushing ice off their shoulders after
rotations and all were challenged by freezing lines and blocks throughout the day.
Sunday proved to be another cold day with winds between 10-15 knots with an occasional gust to 20.
Courses were W4s, until the last A-division race where the race committee chose a W6. Awards were given to the top 3 schools, as well as the top three finishers in each division.
The Michigan Tech Sailing Team finished 11th out of 18 teams. Adam Wenneman skippered in the A division with Amy Saelen and Andee Kubicki alternating as crew, while Tim Mcelreath skippered B division with Andee Kubicki and Nick Saur splitting time as crew.
