Fall Season Wrap-Up The entire team is extremely proud of our successes from this semester.
Match Race Nationals and Timme Angsten Regatta As the season comes to a close, the University of Wisconsin Sailing Team prepares to send two teams of sailors out to regattas this upcoming weekend. Our match racing team is heading out to San Fransisco to represent the Badgers at Nationals and a team of 420 sailors will be driving down to Chicago to compete in the Timme Angsten Conference Championship Regatta. We wish them the best of luck! High School Clinic Thanks to everyone who came out to our clinic this past weekend. It was an excellent fundraiser for us and we loved having the opportunity to share our love for sailing and racing with you. Hope to see you next year! Fall 2011 Season Starts Fall may mean the end of sailing season to some people, but to Wisco it is just the beginning. Practice has been held since the middle of August and a solid new group of sailors has come to join our team. Beginner sailors or experienced racers, the UW Sailing Team is extremely happy to see so many new faces. Charleston Spring Intersectional February 19-20, 2011 After a long offseason of workouts, Joe and George Kutschenreuter, Molly Forbes, Addie Davis, Andrew Fox, and Kevin Kennedy traveled out to Charleston for the first regatta of the season. George and Andrew switched off skippering Bs with Addie as crew and Kevin as the heavy when the wind picked up. They ended up 12th in Bs. Joe skippered with Molly as crew and Kevin as the heavy in As and ended in an astounding 3rd place! Overall, the team took 10th and are happy to be out sailing again. Fall Season Wrap-Up

Nick Clarens On Friday night, 4 vans left Park St. Circle en route to Minnesota. Light and variable winds greeted the crew Saturday morning, but homemade muffins and random cereals provided delicious breakfast. Sailing finally got off around 1, with some teams getting 3 races in and some getting 4. Saturday night, the Browns and Chinnoks hosted us and made us a delicious spaghetti dinner that we ate right off the table! Everything was excellent and we are very grateful for their hospitality. The sailing on Sunday was worse and the regatta was called by 12, with Wisco Freshman getting first place. Congrats! Match Race Clinic September 18-19, 2010 Two Wisco teams went up to Minnesota this weekend. Wisco 1: Phil Morley, Jeremey McMahon, and Rika Grufman. Wisco 2: Brent Chinnok, Kathryn Haberman, and Drew Kosmoski. Despite limited attendance (Minnesota being the only other team), the clinic proved to be a
very
productive weekend with plenty of tiller time and conversation. After
practicing for a large portion of Saturday- including both classroom
time and
on-water drills, racing began around 2:30PM. Two full round robins were
completed, in anticipation of inclement weather for Sunday. At the end
of
the round robins, Wisco 1 and Minnesota were tied, with MN winning the
tie
breaker.

Leif Evensen, Molly Forbes, Georgia Glassie, Mike Lee, Joe and George Kutschenreuter all left late Thursday night in order to get there for the racing which started Saturday morning. There was a light North breeze and our sailors were doing very well, in 5th place after a few sets. A south sea breeze filled in during the afternoon and our team was in 9th by the end of the day. Sunday brought wind that built up to 18 by the early afternoon giving George and Mike a chance to jump in as heavy crews. The team did very well Sunday and finished in 5th place overall!
