Buckeye Sailing

Buckeye Intersectional 2009
Hosted by Ohio State at Edgewater Yacht Club in Cleveland, Ohio
April 11-12 2009

REGATTA HIGHLIGHTS:
Saturday: Lake Erie was very uncooperative; supplying 20 knot winds gusting to 27 out of the North with swells up to 5 feet. A deliciously warm breakfast and lunch got the full attention of all sailors, as races were first postponed until 12:00, then until 2:00. Faced with no abatement of wind or waves and the idea of pulling sailors from the 35-degree water, race committee decided at 2:00 to cancel all sailing for the day. Temperatures in the low to mid 40's.

Sunday: In Cleveland fashion, Sunday's weather was world apart from the previous day's. With sunny skies and a very pleasant 10 knots from the Northeast, it was a great day of sailing. The Intersectional finished strong, managing to fit in 5 races per division. Temperatures in the mid 40's.

Thanks to all of the teams that attended the event. We appreciate the patience with the weather and the persistently high spirits. Congratulations to Vermont, with a runaway win. Also special thanks to Edgewater Yacht Club for their facilities and assistance.
