Singlehand Qualifiers in Bellingham


Last weekend (9/26-27) the team sent 7 sailors up to the Northwest Singlehand Qualifiers regatta in Bellingham. The regatta was hosted by Western Washington University. It was a long weekend, including 14 windward-leward races, and over 10 hours on the water over two days with no breaks. The wind was very light on Saturday, blowing about 5 kts. all day, and the low winds continued through the first race on Sunday, but before the second race began, the winds built up to 10-15 kts., making for an exciting end to the day's races. Due to a good amount of equipment failure, the UPS fleet was considerably diminished by the end of the second day, but it was a fun weekend and everyone appreciated the chance to get out on the water once again.

9. U. Puget Sound 653 141 David Eva '13
11. U. Puget Sound 969 161 John Elam '11
15. U. Puget Sound Yello 198 Mike Knape '12
