Imperial Blue


  • Imperial Blue qualified directly for the Finals from the Southern Qualifier having finished 2.

    Imperial Blue have gone from strength to strength. Aside from single-handedly doubling the ethnic diversity of the University Team Racing Circuit, their second best achievement has to be absolutely destroying Cambridge Blue in a 236 feed-in during training (at some point, probably). This is topped only by the fact that they were actually allowed to compete at BUSA Finals this year. At the Boat you'll find Ariel and Esme, who you'll be able to spot by their slightly sketchy heavy wind gybes. Many may also know them as the only boat to capsize at the oxford top gun, where the team's performance was about strong as their mental game. At the middle of the line is Cyrus, who is often too busy dropping rizz on his crew Yiping to focus on boatspeed. His rizz has been backfiring recently, however, as Yiping claims she only "sees him as her helm and friend". At the pin you'll find Julian whose sailing career probably peaked in school. He is accompanied by crew Dom, who is thankfully not steering the boat as he also has a history of steering his car into the back of other team's cars on the way to sailing events.
