Sodus Bay Open

The teams arrived on time with a light breeze at their backs. After a few races, a clear top four emerged. Cornell, Queen’s, Penn State, and RIT battled throughout the day for first place, with Cornell taking the early lead. The fleet navigated continuous shifts as the breeze clocked back and forth through each race, ending the day with six races per fleet.

After a minor delay getting on the water, the fleet finally got a taste of proper wind. The top four began to solidify their leads, setting up a tight contest. Midday, Tigers 2 suffered a breakdown, removing the boat and team from the rotation. The remaining races ran smoothly, with Queen’s and Cornell trading blows for the top spot. By the end of the afternoon, less than three points separated them, with Queens taking first place.

Thank you to SBJSA, SBYC, and alumni for all your help over the weekend to make the Sodus Bay Open run smoothly!
