The season came to a close this past weekend as the team sailed in two regattas. Halsey Richartz, Mike Russom, Ali Zablocki and Amanda Veccione traveled up to Cornell for the Atlantic Coast Tournament. Unfortunately there was very little wind and only four races were sailed per division. Despite this, they managed to finish 9th overall, and were the highest finishing MAISA Team. The Women's team made up pf Amanda Johnson, Emma Kofmhel, Kelsey Schoenrock, and Marina Reppucci traveled to Brown for the Woman's ACCs. There was only slightly more wind at their regatta, but after eight races per division the girls finished in 17th. Thank you to everyone who helped us out with this great season, and we look forward to starting up again in the spring.
