College Sailing: Spring FuJ Regatta
University of Iowa
Spring FuJ Regatta
April 17-18 2004
Saturday
Conditions proved to be absolutely perfect at Lake MacBride with
temperatures hovering around 80-85 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. We were blessed with great northeasterly wind starting around 10 mph and building
throughout the day to 15 mph. There were no protests or breakdowns filed on either Saturday or Sunday although one FJ sustained minor damage in a collision and another lost its mast after a pin failed in its side stay (fortunately
no one was hurt and the boat was re-rigged and raced again). Windward-leeward, triangle, and modified Olympic courses were sailed.
Sunday
Tired racers were greeted by 25 mph winds with gusts up to 40 mph out of the
south and cooler temperatures. ‘A’ fleet was able to finish 2 triangle
course races with numerous capsizes. After a disastrous rotation with capsized
boats drifting into the rocks and racers too tired to right their boats, race
committee cancelled competition for the remainder of the day.
On a lighter note: Congratulations to the University of Wisconsin KK
for a first place finish, Wisconsin Women for second place, and Marquette for
third place!
Congratulations to Wisconsin for winning (by default) the 1st annual
boat racing tournament and the University of Chicago for the Last Man
Standing award.
