Shepherd Championship (November 16-17, 2013)

The Shepherd Championship, held at Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago, is a JV event.  The first day the wind was blowing around 15 increasing throughout the day. Small waves started to build as the wind speed increased and the temperature stayed about the same all day. We managed to get 6 races off for each division Saturday. Sunday, the wind had sped up overnight and was blowing about 23. We rigged the boats and right before they sent us out, the regatta was called. Loyola had been in first but was forced to withdraw from a B division race which moved us down to 4th overall. Placed 2nd in A division, 5 points behind the division leader, Evanston. All-in-all, fun weekend.
