The Sailing Chargers participated in the Cressy Qualifier regatta September 20-21 at the Saint Petersburg Yacht Club. The regatta is for single handed Laser sailors and determines the representatives from the SAISA District to the High School Single Handed Championships. The top three finishers qualify for the National event. 42 boats participated and represented states as far north as North Carolina as well as the Virgin Islands. Conditions varied from 3-8 knots with constant wind shifts and hot temperatures.
Hannah S and Josh D fell just short of qualifying, finishing 4th and 5th in the fleet. Both Hannah and Josh each won two of the thirteen races sailed. In addition, junior Kyle D finished 17th and freshman Elizabeth S finished 37th.
The team starts their fleet racing season this weekend with the first South Points regatta at Davis Island Yacht Club.
