First regatta completed

 
We sailed in our first high school regatta on Saturday September 10. We entered two teams: Team 1 had Jake and Iggy as the skippers, with Jake sailing A division and Iggy sailing B; Team 2 had Nick and Erynn as helms, with Nick sailing A and Erynn sailing B. The other team members rotated through in the crew slots. All sailed at least two races, except Sebi who was working.

Junior and Seniors (Iggy was on the water)

The individual finishes were:

Jake 14,15,16,19,18
Iggy: 22,21,19,23,21
Nick: 21,20,20,23,22
Erynn: 23,22,22,19,22.

The team totals and overall places are available at this link.  Obviously we have a ways to go! Stay tuned as we improve and move up the ranking.

Our 9th and 10th graders

    As a point of trivia I was digging through my files and found the regatta program from 1999 that had a page describing the history of the "oldest high school sailing regatta in the country."  The scanned page is below.

    I scanned another page (below) that was "Reprinted from the 1964 Maury Regatta Program" and described one of the more popular classes at the time - the Moth. Surely the claim of being the "fastest sailboat in the world within the eleven feet" is true today.

    I hope to get of our helms on my foiler before the season ends. Perhaps this video from Oracle Racing will provide some inspiration.
