6 Schools and a total of 8 teams arrived at Base Line Lake in Dexter, MI for the Big Ten Team Race. Winds were from the west at 10-15 knots with puffs over 25. Racing started just after 10 and a full round robin was completed on Saturday. Towards the end of the day the breeze picked up making racing very exciting. Michigan Wolverines finished the day undefeated and tomorrow brings a gold and silver bracket.
Sailors again arrived at the Michigan Sailing Club at 9 am although it was a bit cooler than the day before. The goal for today was to complete the Gold and Silver round robins before the MSC's Bone Chiller Regatta began at 1. Racing heated up between Michigan Wolverines and Wisco Badgers as there first race ended with redress due to a broken chain plate with Wisco winning the resail and pushing the teams into a sailoff for first. After a fantastic race Michigan came out on top but a protest hearing caused a Michigan boat to be DSQ and giving Wisconsin the overall win. Thanks to PRO Ryan Seago, Umpire/Mark Boat Matt Graham, and all the Michigan sailors that helped run the event.
