Duckling

Day 1 of the Duckling Regatta at Fern Ridge Reservoir, hosted by the University of Oregon, welcomed sailors from Gonzaga, WWU, and OSU. The steady north/northwest breeze of around 6 knots with gusts up to 11 provided ideal conditions for tight racing. Clear skies and mild temperatures added to the enjoyment, with teams navigating the occasional puff with skill. A total of 6 rotations were completed in each division before racing concluded for the day.

Day 2 saw an uptick in intensity as the north/northwest breeze strengthened to 8-10 knots, with gusts reaching 18 knots. The stronger winds and choppier water tested the sailors’ boat-handling and tactical decision-making. Despite the added challenge, the fleet completed another 6 rotations in each division under sunny skies, capping off an exciting weekend of racing.

A huge thank you to all the teams for bringing their energy and competitiveness to Fern Ridge. It was a fantastic regatta!
