Site Assignments for the O'Day and Herreshoff Trophies have been posted on the NESSA website.  If you go to the second tab on the "entries" spreadsheet, you will see the site that your school has been assigned.    Here are direct links:

• O'Day Quals.       (Sunday April 28, 2024)

• Herreshoff Quals  (Sat May 11, 2024)

A reminder about NESSA District Rules

• Article K, section 2 (d): "Schools must sail at least three scheduled meets or regattas prior to the championship between two or more schools in the season that the championship is being held (fall or spring)."  Schools that have crossed this threshold are highlighted in Green on the site assignment page. Data is captured from the NESSA Team Racing Scores and Tech Score m- Spring 2024.  If there is data outside of these sources (FNL, PBR, etc.), please share it with me.  The goal is to get each school registered over this important safety threshold.

• Article L - Failure to Compete: Schools have until 48 hours prior to the regatta report time to withdraw from a regatta penalty free.  Schools that withdraw within 48 hours are put on probation for two years.  School that violate this District Rule while on probation are barred from ALL NESSA REGATTA for the next year.  Here is a link to the current probation list from the homepage of the website.

• Article M - Trophy Winner Responsibilities: The following schools are put on notice that they are responsible for bringing the NESSA trophy to the regatta. Consequences for failing to do such are outlined in the District Rules.

  • O'Day - St. George's School

  • Presidents - Brunswick School

  • Herreshoff - St. George's School
