Fresh start to the Fall 2016 season: Stuart Walker Open, LCO, and family sailing!
As the Middlebury College academic year starts later than others, the sailing team is often late to begin their season as well. Fortunately, our first weekend of competition features two ‘home’ regattas: The Stuart Walker Open, our team’s annual regatta, and the Callagy Ross Trophy (formally the LCO) at UVM. The team was looking forward…
