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!
