This weekend our team traveled to the Toms River Yacht Club to race in the Central #1 regatta hosted by Ocean County College.
On Saturday, a cold front brought high winds with gusts reaching 25 knots. Sailing in A Division, Amanda Johnson (’11) and Bri Morgan (’08), whose combined height was just over 10 feet and combined weight toped the scale at 220 lbs, made an outstanding achievement working through the day’s challenging conditions.
Sunday, had lighter winds starting from the North and clocking right through out the day, resulting in a shifty shore breeze. This made for exceptionally tricky conditions. In B Division, Garth Fasano (’08) and Kelley Millane (’09) finished the day with six straight bullets. Amanda Vecchione (’11) crewed in A division while Bri ran the half marathon in Philadelphia setting a personal best.
The team finished 3rd overall, 9th in A division, and 1st in B division, thus qualifying us for the War Memorial Regatta later this season. Also supporting the team at this regatta were alumni Skip Swikart, Drew Seibert (’56), and a member of the class of 1957. Thank you for all your support!
