Green Fleet Sailors Compete at North Shore Cup

North Shore Cup Write Up
 By Coach Abigail McFadyen

Green fleet sailors having fun waiting for the wind!

Just a few miles up the shores of Lake Michigan, 9 CYC green fleet sailors went to compete in Lake Forest for the North Shore Cup on July 21. An AP flag (postponement) was raised at the start of the day and it was not until 11:30 that the first race got off. The sailors conquered the windward-leeward course that they so often sail around at practice. Unfortunately, only one full race was run due to declining wind. But as the racing rules of sailing state, even just one race constitutes a regatta. Notable finishes include: Grace Renz in 2nd, Cal Kinnear in 4th, Spencer Von Peterffy in 6th, and Tyler Crabb in 8th. Congrats to all 9 sailors for a job well done!

Cal Kinnear rounds the windward mark ahead of the fleet.
