Five Madison Opti Racers competed in the Lake Beulah Sailing School Regatta on Monday, June 25 along with 66 other young sailors from southern Wisconsin. It was a beautiful day for sailing with winds of 10-12 mph out of the northeast. But true to form, the Lake Beulah winds were shifty and the shorelines were a factor in the races. Meta Simon and Quinn Senke raced in the Red, White, and Blue fleet completing four races in a 46 boat fleet. Colin Senke, Will Sergetsen, and Fritz Simon sailed five races in the Green fleet. It was a regatta full of firsts for the green fleeters: Will successfully completed his first ever regatta in his first summer sailing Optis; Colin led a regatta race for the first time; and Fritz won his first ever race in the first race of the event. It was also Quinn's birthday that day and he kindly brought ice cream treats to share with fellow sailors.
