The UCSD Sailing team hosted their annual Frosh-Soph Regatta at Mission Bay Yacht Club, with 12 schools, 46 boats, and about 200 sailors in attendance. The regatta started off Saturday with about 10kts of breeze, and racing began around 11:30. The breeze built throughout the morning, allowing for the race committee (RC) to run races consistently. A division and B division competed in 6 and 4 races, respectively. And, of course, the first day of Frosh Soph is never complete without a healthy amount of capsizes. Sailors were seen scrambling to right their boats and rejoin the fleet, adding to the excitement of the day. The competitive energy was high, and the conditions made for an action-packed start to the regatta. All in all, a great first day of racing.

Day 2 of Frosh Soph displayed a lot less wind than Day 1: Only about 4-6 kts throughout. However, that didn't stop racing from getting started at about 11:15 and continuing until the last start at 3:15. Light and shifty conditions resulted in a huge separation of boats within each fleet, with some boats battling it out near the front of the pack and others fighting to stay in the hunt. Races were extended to about 20 minutes, with strategic shifts and puffs making it challenging to maintain consistency. The fluctuating breeze tested sailors' ability to stay in the right spots on the course, keeping the race committee and competitors alike on their toes. A and B divisions sailed 2 and 4 races respectively, with many teams making adjustments to their tactics as the conditions evolved. Overall, a wonderful weekend of sailing, marked by great competition, camaraderie, and a perfect mix of challenging and fun conditions.
