The water temp is 56 degrees, the days when it isn't blowing over 20 or raining are becoming fewer and farther between, and the air temp is rarely reaching 60 these days, so short of putting on dry suits, it's time to call an end to the Stanwich School sailing season for the year.
This was the second year of existence for Stanwich Sailing, which is an impressive program considering that most schools don't offer sailing in gym class. Our group of fourteen 7th, 8th, and 9th graders did a great job this season in their club 420 fleet. They proved they could sail in the cold, the rain, and wind gusting to 25. There were only a handful of capsizes. We ran close to 100 races run throughout the season. All we need is somebody to race against...
Thanks for a fun season!
