Hello everyone!
Our women’s team is heading down to St. Petersburg, FL in just 2 days to compete at the Sperry/Topsiders Women’s Nationals event. With that said… we are also having a carwash at the Cub Foods in Minnetonka (at Hwy 7 and 101) to raise money for the travel costs. Come out and support us any time tomorrow and get a nice car was out of the deal 
Hope to see you soon!
The women of the University of Minnesota sailing team qualified for nationals after a roller-coaster win in Ohio on Saturday:
After 6 races, the Gophers were down by three, and had literally packed the van in defeat and sadness… However, the MCSA rulebook was brought out to state that in regattas with 6 teams or less, 10 races must be run! The Gophers took full advantage of the extra time and came out on top. Way to make us proud!!!
Go Gophers 
The team consisting of skippers Ryan Grosch and Drake Lundeen, crew Paige Boegeman and Sarah Ellis, and alternates Emily Oltrogge and Alison Kent are headed to Chi town to start of a streak of important regattas in pursuit of this years Nationals in Florida. Wish them luck!
Unfortunately, we were unable to compete this past weekend at the University of Iowa because of frozen water. Stay tuned for this weekend’s regatta at Northwestern!
Our sailors are enjoying the sun and sand of Florida this week for spring break. They will be practicing, teaching others, and staying fit with on and off the water workouts.
This weekend, we sent a team of 4 girls to Navy Spring Women’s Intersection at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. Freshman, Alison Kent and junior, Sarah Ellis sailed in the A division while sophomore, Emily Oltrogge and junior, Paige Boegeman sailed the B division. A division sailed in FJs on Saturday and 420s on Sunday with B division in the opposite boat each day.
Saturday started out well with the girls sitting in 15th during lunch. After lunch and for the rest of the event, the wind died off a bit and the conditions were very tough! Ending the event in 18th (with Wisconsin in 20th), the women continue to prove their potential to be successful at qualifiers this upcoming April!
