| regatta report - cedarfest 2003
This past weekend the focus of the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association was on Michigan State's annual Cedarfest regatta, which was well attended by competitive teams from the district. There was fierce competition in both A and B divisions. As teams arrived at Lake Lansing on Saturday morning, they were greeted by a light fog and no wind. However, by the skippers meeting, the fog lifted and a light breeze built from the Southeast. Historically, the Cedarfest has been accompanied by cooler weather and gray skies. However, this year the temperatures were warm enough to keep sailors out of their drysuits. "It was unbelievable," said Shannon Bonds, an Ohio University sailor who has attended five consecutive Cedarfests. "My freshman year it was snowing, cold, and blowing 20. This is the first year that it did not snow." Given the usual weather conditions for the Cedarfest, there was homemade chili on hand. Some Midwest teams brought two complete teams to the Cedarfest regatta. In fact, all the teams that attended either sent two teams or had an additional team of sailors participating in another regatta, showcasing the increasing depth of MCSA squads. Northwestern sent a team to both Cedarfest and an intersectional regatta at Hobart and William Smith in upstate New York. Wisconsin was one of those teams that doubled up at the Cedarfest. After a day of sailing in relatively light conditions, Wisconsin's teams were holding the top two places, followed by Northwestern eight points behind. "We were all happy with how we did," said Anne Porter, a Wisconsin junior, "and we were looking for the larger winds that Sunday was forecasted to bring," Sundays forecast was for more wind and rain. However, the sun appeared with brisk temperatures, especially when compared to the mild weather of the day before. The wind clocked to the west and the sailors sailed in puffy conditions for the last two races of the regatta. "It was super shifty," said Lindsey Duda, a junior at Northwestern. "There were huge righties and lefties that were easy to see on the water, so it wasn't that tough." Indeed, most sailors were able to catch onto the shifts as boats that were in the same vicinity often tacked simultaneously to catch the puffs. Wisconsin held on to its lead and took the top two spots at the regatta with Northwestern nine points behind. - Tom McGrath (this article originally appeared on sailing world online)
