Loyola Academy Caption's Review the Season
By Grace Beard & Julia Bogdanowicz
Starting sailing under COVID was . . . eventful, for the Loyola Academy Sailing Team, to say the least. There were a lot of adjustments and weird situations (like learning how to figure out new concepts on the water, since we couldn’t sit in one place long enough to have a cohesive chalk-talk) that we had to get used to, requirements that were situationally frustrating (our lack of flexibility with sailing partners made it difficult to coordinate busy schedules and partner absences) and for many returning sailors, the adjustment process was discouraging and many of us were skeptical. Instead of the trying and difficult season many of us were expecting, we got one that was exciting, fun, and full of individual challenges. The centralized competitiveness allowed many of our sailors' room and motivation to push ourselves to our furthest limits every day (especially due to the conditions, which for the majority of the season were high winds and lots of chop).
We were able to have in-house regattas, which meant we were able to exercise the skills we had honed over the week in real competitive time. Loyola Academy consistently placed high during these regattas, and that track record rang true for the single competitive regatta we were able to participate in (placing third overall!).
Currently, our senior captains are strategizing ways to make the sailing team better known across Loyola Academy’s student body during the off-season.
