College Sailing Chalk Talk: Season 11, Episode 8

Chris Love provides this week’s report on the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association 2014-2015 season along with his weekly Chalk Talk video report:

In this final week in fall college sailing, Georgetown won its second straight Match Racing title, but not without a fight. Chris Stocke’s squad from University of South Florida was the top seed after the round robin and took Nevin Snow and the Hoyas to the maximum number of races on the finals, losing 3-2 in a seesaw battle in Sonars Oyster Bay, NY. See the full results and video highlights at 2014matchrace.collegesailing.org.

With the big guns sailing on Long Island, The Coed and Women’s Atlantic Coast Champs had some teams’ rosters spread a little thin. Even so, the U.S. Naval Academy put in a tremendous performance, winning both events, buoyed by outstanding performances from Patrick Snow / Megan Hough at Coast Guard for Coeds and Mary Hall / Emma Ferris at MIT for Women’s. Meanwhile University of Hawaii made the journey off-island to pick up the win with two firsts and a second in the three-division Pacific Coast Championship at UC Santa Barbara.
