Teams arrived Saturday morning for the Fleet Race Qualifier to light, shifty breeze out of the SW and flat water on Lake Mendota. Breeze built slowly throughout the day, capping around 12-14 kts at the end of the day. Supreme efficiency allowed all 22 races to be completed on the first day, with Wisconsin, Michigan, and Northwestern finishing in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, respectively. The team would like to thank our PRO, AJ Schweda, as well as our protest committee, consisting of Steve Dolan, Fields Gunsett, and others on Zoom, for helping run this qualifier.
