Sailors win championships

Three young Bermudian students helped their school win the Mid Atlantic Fleet Racing Championships. Blake Burgess, Jono Dill and Joshua Greenslade were instrumental in leading Christ-church School in Virginia to the title. Burgess skippered the A Division team which had two firsts, two seconds and a third while Dill helmed the B Division team to two firsts, a third, fourth, and sixth. The Bermudians helped Christchurch win the Virginia State Championships earlier in the season.

College sailing

Outstanding performances by local sailors Sean Bouchard (Roger Williams University) and Peter Miller (Connecticut College) in the Freshman Intersectional College Championships held November 8 and 9 at Connecticut College propelled both their schools to first and second place finishes overall.

Bouchard and his crews placed first in the A-Division with Miller and his crew narrowly placing second in a tie break with the first place finisher in the B-Division. In addition to winning the event overall, Bouchard and the Squad from RWU were named Sailors of the Week by the New England Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association for their strong performance.
