Autumn Classic (September 29-30, 2012)


Our 4th regatta of the season, the Autumn Classic regatta, was hosted at Chicago Yacht Club's Belmont Station this fall. All twenty teams that competed in this regatta were from different schools - a huge accomplishment for MISSA. Shifty winds on Saturday, made the course challenging because it continued to change but a full eight races were completed in each division at 4-8knts. It was a beautiful day. Sunday brought some cooler temperatures and a little more chop, to bring the total number of races to thirteen in each division. Overall, Loyola B with RJ Porter as the skipper and Julianna Lee as crew consistently got top 5's with one or two that threw off their score - finishing 4th in B. In A, Mitchell Lee and Clare Perry finished 5th in their division with scores ranging from 5th to mid fleet over the two days. Pat Griffin and James Kinzel also sailed this weekend. Overall, the team finished 3rd at the regatta behind Ignatius and Minnetonka. Great work Ramblers!
