Fruitcakes Regatta
Northwestern
April 27

Regatta Highlights: The races of the one-day "Fruitcakes" Regatta started on Sunday at 9:45. Sailors in the regatta benefited in the morning from light wind of 5-12 knots from the South and a moderate temperature of 45 degrees. The conditions changed in the afternoon to a more gusty and shifty breeze from the Southeast with puffs in excess of 20 knots. The teams were also treated to a toasty 75 degrees in the afternoon leading to an overall feeling of well being coupled with the appearance of several impressive farmers' tans.

Overall scoring resulted in Carleton in 3rd place, Northwestern in 2nd, and University of Chicago taking the grand prize. Protests were absent; St Thomas and Wisconsin were no shows. Jimmy Buffett is on the stereo.
