The Charles River served up two days of light to moderate easterly winds for the 6th annual National Invitational Tournament for the Founders Trophy. 81 races were completed among 10 teams representing 4 ISSA districts. Congratulations to our winners from Lake Forest High School.

Lake Forest HS topped 9 other schools from around the country to become the first Mid-west school to win the NIT.  The event was shortened by a lack of wind on Sunday, but the racing was intense and the outcome came down to the final race.

High School Sailing (Interscholastic Sailing Association – ISSA) holds the final Championship of the sailing season with the Baker Team Race Championship, in Seabrook, TX sailed out of Lakewood Yacht Club this coming weekend, May 24-25.  If the Mallory Championship was any indicator, the Baker will be equally as exciting.

The competition was tight at both NESSA Team Racing events this weekend on Cape Cod.  In Hyannis, Tabor bested the field of 8 to win the Terk and earn a berth to the NIT.  Meanwhile, in Osterville, St George's cam from behind to beat Cape Cod Academy for the 2014 NESSA Team Racing Championship.
