Mary Castellini ('25), Carmen Lineer ('26), Marissa Tegeder ('25), Ellena Frumiento ('24), and Genna Gallico ('27) traveled to St. Mary's College of Maryland this weekend to race in the Women's ACCs Round 1B regatta. Over the course of the weekend, they raced a full round robin with A and B divisions, each racing in FJs and 420s, respectively. On the first day, the A division raced in FJs, and the B division raced in 420s. The breeze started light, around 6-10 knots, and shifty. It also became puffier throughout the day. The shifty conditions emphasized the importance of staying in phase and being prepared to execute maneuvers on short notice. After completing 10 races in both A and B divisions, the team returned to the La Quinta of California, Maryland, and rested up for the next day of racing. On the second day, the A division raced 420s, and the B division raced in FJs. The breeze started slightly heavier today and ended up building to around 15 knots by the end of the day. The conditions proved to be just as puffy and shifty, which kept everyone on their toes. A total of 7 races were completed to finish out the round-robin. Overall, this regatta was a great learning experience, and the team got to practice sailing in challenging, shifty conditions against stiff competition. A highlight of the experience was hammering in some fine boat speed details.
