And Congrats to Tabor and Falmouth HS (ME) who represented NESSA at the MASSA FAll 2025 Girls Champs, including three boats in the Gold fleet and two boast in the podium in Silver fleet
Finally, this will mark my last weekly NESSA email. I have served as Secretary/Treasurer on this second go-around since 2013 and it has been a privilege to work with everyone over those 12 years. In my new roles as ISSA President I look forward to continuing to strengthen High School Sailing not just for the top team in the country, but for all 650+ schools who are competing and getting kids on the water. Tim leaves some big shoes to fill, but I learned a great deal following HS legend Toby Baker and I am excited for the challenge.
