Fourteen College and nine High
School sailing teams shared the waters of Lake Washington, October 22-23. Racing got underway Saturday morning in a light north breeze that died at the end of race 2. After a short postponement, B-Division set sail in a patchy south breeze. By the end of race 2B, the forecasted southerly had filled in to a solid 10-12 knots with lots of puffs and shifts. By 4:45, six races had been completed in each division. Saturday evening sailors enjoyed a
college sailing forum where NW High School sailors were educated on college sailing and the local collegiate sailing programs. The big message was that there are lots of programs out there and there are lots of people willing to help you find the right program that fits your academic and sailing goals. Sunday morning sailors arrived to a
calm Lake Washington. A south breeze finally filled and the RC managed to get a single race in before the wind shut off again. Thirty minutes later, B-Division hit the water in a shifty 5 knot southerly. They quickly completed two races and it was A-Division out for the final race to even the series. RC struggled to get a
fair race completed recalling more than one race as wind shut off and shifted. A final race was managed in a very light and unstable south breeze. And of course, a perfect northerly filled just as the last few boats were finishing the final race! All courses were windward-
