  1. Herreshoff:

  • Congrats to the 16 schools that qualified for the Herreshoff at SailME on Sunday May 18.  

  • The NOR and SIs are posted on the NESSA Website.

  • Greenwich Academy is responsible for making sure the permanent trophy arrives in Portland.

  • If for some reason, your school can not attend on Sunday, can you alert me by Tuesday so that a substitute can be found in a timely manner.

 

  1. O’Day:

  • Congrats to the 16 schools that qualified for the O’Day at Conn College on May 24-25.  

  • The NOR has been  posted on the NESSA Website for a while. 

  • The SIs will go up at the end of this week.

  • St. George’s is responsible for making sure the permanent trophy arrives in Portland.

  • Please take a note of NOR 1.5 “ISSA PR 4.1(d) is modified so that rosters need to be declared “at the report time of the regatta.”  This is a new ISSA PR that is in effect for the Mallory, Baker, and all district qualifiers.  What does this mean?  It means that all schools attending the O’Day will need to enter the names of ALL of their sailors (no less than 4, no more than 8) into Tech Score by the report time of the regatta.

  • Also note NOR 10 - FAILURE TO COMPLETE O’DAY FINALS. This section outlines the process by which schools will be selected to represent NESSA at the Mallory and the King IF, the O’Day regatta is unable to be completed before Monday May 26th.  This list of published here and on the website.

 

  1. Fall Sailing-ACCS: 

  • On May 1st, the NESSA sub-committee issued their draft plan to revamp Fall sailing.  The sub-committee was formed to address the lack of access to many of the fall regattas and take a look at the qualification process for the Fall ACCs, an event that has gained popularity in the past few years.  
  • You can read the draft proposal here. 
  • The NESSA ExComm will be meeting later this spring to discuss the proposal.  Coaches with input can comment directly in the document or funnel those thoughts through their league representatives.
