The Coast Guard Regatta is a regatta that Loyola Academy has been invited too over the past four years. This fall, George Ernst, RJ Porter, Mitchell Lee, Clare Perry, James Kinzel, and Julianna Lee flew to New London, Connecticut to compete against twenty-one other high school teams over the weekend in both FJ's and 420's. On Saturday, A Division started in 420's and B division sailed in FJ's. Light wind caused a race to be abandoned in the morning, and after lunch the wind picked up to 8-12mph SW. Loyola did not do well Saturday in either fleet, but once A switched to FJ's and B switched to 420's, things started looking a lot better for Loyola Varsity on Sunday. The winds were gusting up to twenty-five mph at the top of the course, and hiking was very necessary. Loyola ended sunday getting several top 5's and 13th place overall. Great comeback, and a great experience for the team!
