NESSA News

Team Racing that went on this weekends.

Here in Oak Harbor, WA, both St George's and Hotchkiss battled hard.  It was great to see both NESSA teams in the final four and they represented our district well.

In Chicago, Tabor won the NIT. That is four wins in a row by a NESSA team.  Fairfield Ludlowe HS finished third and Barrington HS was 7th.  NESSA is slated to host the NIT in 2026.  More information about the bid process coming out in the fall.

And finally, it was reported to me that Terk was a great event.  Congratulations to Greenwich HS for winning the regatta in the final race, and to East Greenwich HS, Greens Farms Academy, and Martha's Vineyard RHS for rounding out the final four.

Here are the results:   Baker      NIT      Terk

Our focus turns to the Herreshoff  finals slated for Saturday May 25 at the Community Boating Center in New Bedford, MA.  Good luck to all the teams competing.

And finally, a tearful goodbye and good luck to all the seniors who are graduating in the next few weeks.  Whether you are going on to sail in college or not, we hope that you will look back fondly on your high school sailing years. And in the future, when you are able, you will give back to the sport.  Many of the umpires at the Terk were ex-HS sailors, ex-HS coaches, or present HS coaches whose teams were not competing.
