ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The University of Hawai'i women's sailing team finished seventh at the University of South Florida Women's regatta, Sunday afternoon in Tampa Bay. Through the weekend's tough conditions, the two Rainbow Wahine squads finished with a combined score of 289.

Saturday afternoon's rough tidal current and shifting winds were not kind to the sailors. However, the competitors prevailed through nine races with no protests or breakdowns through the entire day.
