First Year Icebreaker

Racing for First Year Icebreaker began promptly at 10:00am with moderate and gusty wind of ~7-10 knots out the the northwest. These wind conditions were paired with cold weather, under 30 degrees when racing commenced. A strong morning of racing was recorded before temperatures continued to fall and gusts strengthened. Racing was called for the day a bit earlier than planned due to weather. All in all we were able to get in 10 races for A fleet and 8 races for B fleet in an overall good day of sailing.

Racing on Sunday began with B fleet going out to brave even more frigid temperatures. Wind was shifty and gusty out of the northwest at ~6-8 knots sustained. Windchill of 14 degrees made for less than favorable conditions with lines freezing and icicles forming on the boats. Despite this, we were able to finish the regatta with 30 total races between A and B fleets. Congratulations to Michigan for winning First Year Icebreaker and thank you to all our Notre Dame volunteers for helping to put on such a successful event.
