Sunny skies and steady breeze greeted the athletes for the 2024 Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Regatta.
Racing got underway just after 10am in a steady 5-6 knot NE breeze. 4 races were sailed before a short halftime break on shore.
In the afternoon the breeze came up slightly to around 6-9 knots with oscillations. 4 more races were sailed with race 8 ending just after 3pm.
Another beautiful day on Lake Pontchartrain with a gradually building breeze again out of the NE starting out around 8 knots. By the last race the breeze had built to a steady 10-12 and then shifted hard to the SE as a seabreeze tried to fill. The new offshore breeze direction meant for a very shifty final race.
6 races were sailed in all with the last one wrapping up around 12:50.
Shortly after teams came ashore a brief trophy presentation was hosted by the Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee, with trophies being awarded to the top 3 teams and low point skipper. Additionally, the Reese Memorial Trophy was awarded to Sophie Fisher from Stanford as the Outstanding Female Competitor.
A big thank you to the Sugar Bowl Committee and Southern Yacht Club for their hospitality and to the Tulane team for helping run the event.
Congratulations to the Tulane Green Wave on the win.
