Our team along with many others were hosted by the wonderful residents, and town of Oriential🙌🙏. Where we enjoyed two days of great sailing and endevored to surmount the gusty nature of “Da Neuse” 😬.While our very own @n_essick05 conquered the noble task of sleep maxxing during both days of racing! 💤A huge thank you to @bow2stern.nc and @sailpack for their amazing hospitality and a great weekend. Can’t wait to return next year!!@danamags 😏#collegesailing #dontfeedtug #bucees #thesystem #capsizemaxxing by @uncwsailing

🚨🚨 THIS IS A SAILING SUPER ALERT 🚨 🚨 The crew took a trip this weekend to the land of armadillos and tumbleweeds 🌾 at the Texas Rough & Rowdy. As the name implied it was both rough 🌊 and rowdy 🤠! The crew endeavored to surmount the 3-4ft swell 😵‍💫 and resulted in a 2nd place finish (on day one)🤫. Group consensus was that whataburger is a “better than McDonald’s” 🤡 out of 10 and the Alamo exceeded expectations 💯(R.I.P. Davy Crockett 🪦). Great hospitality @whataburger 🍔 @governorabbott ⭐️ and shoutout our esteemed @saisasailing commissioner @danamags. 😁🫶 #hawkyeah #fossilfuels #april10th #collegesailing by @uncwsailing

Last weekend we competed at UofSC for SAISA North. Heavy rain brought strong winds and made for some exciting racing. We finished 6th overall, placing 6th in both A and B fleets. Thanks to the Gamecocks and CSC for hosting such a great regatta!🐔⛵️ by @uncwsailing
