This past weekend, Edgewater Yacht Club in Cleveland, OH was host to 49 sailors from 31 schools for the 2022 MISSA Cressy Single-handed Qualifiers. Sailors were treated to sunny skies, warm weather and medium to heavy winds from the Southwest over the two-day regatta held along the south shore of Lake Erie. Winds from the Southwest meant flat water and shifty conditions, and Principal Race Office Keven Eiber and her team of seasoned staff on the Race Committee worked efficiently and effectively to get in 12 fair races.
