Recap from the weekend. The weather delayed Arnold brown Regatta was won by St. Georges, which qualifies them for the 3rd NESSA berth at the Fall ACCs along with Barrington HS (Casco Bay Open) and The Brunswick School (NESSA Fall Funfest). NESSA's final berth will be decided at the Roy Williams Invitationals sailed at St George's this Sunday (10/22).
Roy Williams Regatta: Roy Williams and I started our coaching careers in NESSA in the late 1980s. Roy was out at the Kent School, taking over for the legendary Tim Scott, before moving to St George's in the early 1990s to take over for the legendary Steve Leslie. Roy coached SG to two Baker wins (2008 & 2016), several NE Team Racing (1998, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2014, 2015, 2016) and Fleet Racing (1998, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2017) Championships, and many more podium finishes in his 35+ year coaching career, I always enjoyed the intense competition against Roy's teams as they often brought out the best in both teams.. A legion in his own right, Roy stepped away from coaching in June. This regatta in his name is a wonderful acknowledgment of his contribution to the sport of High School Sailing not only on a national stage but in New England and at St George's too.
