Penn Sailing Results & News
This was a phenomenal season for the Penn Sailing Team. Not only did we more than double the size of our team but we also climbed as high as 11th in the Sailing World national rankings before settling into 15th place as our Fall season ended!
We traveled to 15 regattas this season and finished our season with very strong results. Many weekends we fielded two and even three teams. In addition to a strong 6th place finish at the prestigious Hood Trophy at Tufts, we won the Kings Point Dingy Open and then finished in 3rd place at the MAISA Championship War Memorial Regatta. We even fielded our first ever Women's team that competed in the very competitive Navy Fall Women's regatta. To finish the season, we competed in the Atlantic Coast Championship in St. Petersburg, Florida. We are looking to continue our impressive performance in the Spring with an even stronger roster. Be sure to look out for our Spring newsletter. Below you can find links to the complete results.
We could not have done this without your strong and continued support. Over the summer, we completed construction of our new docks that now fit all nine boats. We also purchased a new Evinrude outboard engine for our coach boat. Towards the end of the season, Steve Keen, on of the top speed coaches, was able to spend a few weeks coaching us before our big regattas. Skip Swikart, our alumni adviser, is currently organizing a fundraising campaign that will allow us to continue to travel and draw the talented sailors and coaches that have helped make our team as successful as it is today. He can be contacted at swik3@aol.com for more information.
Finally, I am proud to announce that the Doug Lotz and Kelley Millane are the new captains of the Penn Sailing Team.
Thank you for all the support. Go Quakers!

Princeton Women's Regatta Recap
This past weekend marks a great milestone for Penn Sailing with our participation in our first ever Women's Regatta.
Senior Christine Roche, Junior Katie Buzby, and Freshmen Amanda Johnson and Amanda Vecchione all competed at the regatta held at Princeton's yacht club in Perth Amboy, NJ.
Conditions were very light the first day, but the team did extraordinarily well, with Amanda and Katie finishing first in their division, and Amanda V and Christine finishing 3rd in one of their races. The second day proved more difficult for the team, with shifty conditions and a very short race course. Overall, the team ended up 5th- a great accomplishment for our first ever women's team!

Central #1 at OCC Report
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!
