Week 9
September 12-13, 2015
In the first weekend of the fall season, the team sailed incredible well at numerous events across New England.
At the Penebscot Bay Open, Jackson Hamilton, Jackie Berlin, Johnny Wehner, and Katie Alfond put in a dominant performance that qualified the team for the Danmark regatta in a few weeks. The team was in 4th place after a light wind Saturday, and improved to 2nd out of 15 teams after the winds picked up on Sunday.
The women's team had a strong performance against some of the top women's sailors in New England at the Toni Deutsch, finishing 5th out of 15. Elise Gehling, Margo Blagden, Tori McGruer, and Laura Tschiegg all sailed well, with both teams winning a few races.
