Snow and Satisfaction Regatta
Yale Corinthian Yacht Club
November 6-8

The regatta began on Friday in a strong northeasterly with puffs in the high teens. 4 races were sailed with the Zach Brown/emmet Smith combo putting in a dominant performance with only 10 points. Saturday morning greeted sailors with an 8-10 knot southerly that lasted until about 3:00 when racing was called for the day and the festivities began in earnest. Sunday's 9:30 report time was painful for many, especially when LIS showed its glassier side. The postponement was short-lived, however, as the southerly re-emerged and allowed for four races before completely shutting off around 2:30. The Race Committee's undue faith in the breeze unfortunately led to no remaining pressure for the crew race. Congratulations (and awkward handshakes) to Michael and Marla Menninger on their strong performance over three very different days.

Many thanks to all the competitors who make the Snow such a fun and memorable event. Thanks also to the many Yale sailors and alumni who made the event possible through their work both on and off the water.
