[NESSA] Fall 2024 High School Sailing - F11

  1. Tabor Academy secured the 3rd NESSA bid to the Fall ACCs this past weekend at the Fall Funfest for the Wally Gleekman Trophy. 

    Speaking of which, there is a Gleekman Trophy somewhere. Carl Zimba, past MBL President, purchased a trophy probably 15 years ago.  The trophy has been missing for a number of years.  Someone has it in their trophy case.  Past winners, please give a thorough review of your site.  You can see from the list that this trophy goes back almost 30 years.  It would be nice to have it back in circulation.

3. FYI: This from the ISSA National Office today.  Further updates by the end of the week.

ISSA is monitoring Hurricane Milton, which is now a Category 5 headed straight to Tampa, and scheduled to hit land Wednesday.   Depending on the severity of the storm, HS Sailing is monitoring if the Cressy will be able to be held at St Petersburg YC.

In coordination with Zim Sailing, ICSA and Old Dominion Univ in Norfolk, Virginia, we may have an alternate host and date of Nov 2-3 if necessary. 

Hopefully we will be able to communicate the final decision by this Friday or Saturday, depending on how St Pete was able to weather the storm.

District Directors, - please pass this information along to your sailors who are currently qualified for the Cressy – we’ll try to keep everyone informed as best we can as we receive information.
