End of Season


The team is pretty much wrapping up their season, and doing a great job!

The weekend of November 7/8, the freshmen traveled to Boston to sail the Freshmen Icebreaker, where they ended up 14th.
In Holland, MI, the Area East Championship team (pictured above) won the regatta by a landslide, qualifying us for a spot at the Timme Angsten Memorial November 27-29.

This past weekend, we sent three teams to Chicago for the Timme's Tune-Up at Northwestern, where we placed 1st, 5th and 10th out of 17 teams.

First place went to Scott Pfeffer and Maria Falcone, second to Christina Cattey and Dave Altshuler, and third to Thomas Martin and Christina Baker. Also participating were Ben Seppala, Pat Burke, and Dom Piro. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped out, especially the University of Michigan Sailing Club!
