On Saturday, the sail team won the Fall Invitational Regatta on a beautiful afternoon in Port Jeff Harbor. The late summer warmth was soothed by an 8 mph wind out of the north-northeast and conditions were ideal after a morning shower. Twelve total races went off, six each in the A and B Divisions.
The pairing of Thomas DeRose and Ella Simmons ins the SBS 1 dinghy earned three 1st place and five top-five finishes to lead the Bears in Division A with a total of 16 points. The SBS 2 boat, sailed by Josie Levy and Jack Adams, finished in 8th thanks to five top-10 finishes.
