On September 23rd and 24th, we sailed in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Regatta hosted by Columbia Yacht Club and the Storm Trysail Club in Chicago, Illinois. The Co-Ed team sailed the J/105 Kinship provided by Josh and Laura Lutton and sailed in the J/105 fleet, which consisted of 7 teams. Jack Schweda (‘24) was on the helm, Cal Lutton (‘26) trimmed the main, Sam Spencer (‘24) trimmed headsail, Finn Tait (‘25) was in the pit, Iván Castañer (‘24) was on the mast, and Gavin Dempsey (‘26) was on the bow. The team drove down on Friday afternoon and practiced for about an hour under the setting sun on Friday night. On Saturday, the team was greeted with challenging light and lumpy conditions, with a confused sea state and easterly wind at about 8 knots. Unfortunately, the team had a slow start on Saturday, posting 4 straight 5th-place finishes. However, the team came together on the day's last race to post a first-place finish. The confidence carried over into the following day, which had similar conditions, where the team could post 2 third-place finishes and rounded out the day with another bullet. Thank you to the Dombrowskis for housing the team, and a special thanks to Josh Lutton for providing his boat and taking the time to help support collegiate offshore sailing.
