The Buccaneers arrived in Florida to finish the fall season at the Atlantic Coast Tournament hosted by Eckerd College. Sailors were greeted with a 10 knot North Easterly to start racing. Alex Bowen and Sydney Clays sailed in A division while Christos Karplus skippered for Megan Laurie in B division. After 6 races the big breeze came knocking and Captain Sergio Gratta and freshman Thomas Dunn answered the door.  The duo crewed for Alex and Christos for races 7-10. Saturday ended with the Bucs sitting in a tie for 3rd place with the Florida State University Seminoles. 

Conditions Sunday were overcast with an unstable North Easterly for the final 6 races of the regatta. The breeze started light and the ladies were in the boats again.  After 4 races the breeze slowly built and Gratta was back with Alex to finish off the regatta. The Bucs finished 3rd overall with 281 points after 16 races.
