Sehome Sailing Team wins NW Championship

I'm very proud to announce that your local Sehome high school sailing team just won the NW District Championships this weekend and will head to San Diego in two weeks to compete for the National Championships.  The team beat 16 other northwest teams from Washington and Oregon after 28 hard fought races down in Anacortes.  

The team was lead by skippers Miles Johannessen, a senior, and Liam Hood, a sophomore.  Both skippers sailed very fast with consistently good finishes.  Their crews consisted of senior Elise Chambers, and sophomores Riley Allsop, Shea Walker, and Jeffrey Werner.  Nearly all of these sailors went through one of the local learn to sail programs at the Bellingham Yacht Club or WWU Lakewood.

The team will now head to San Diego for nationals and race against 18 teams from around the country.  The team will be holding fundraisers to pay for the trip over the next two weeks, so look for an opportunity to help them out.

Sailors & Parents,

This weekend the team will be heading down to Seattle for a two day team race at Sail Sand Point.  It should be a good weekend of sun and wind.  

The team going will be Courtney, Sawyer, Zach, Sophia, Cailin, Chase, Ali, Benj, Cameron, Jeffrey, Riley, Shea, Elise, Liam, Fanny, and Miles. 

Drivers Needed.  So far we have, Scott - 5 kids, Andrea Hood - 3 kids.  I have heard that possibly the walkers can take 4 down with Steve Hood bringing 4 back Sunday?  Please confirm if that would work.  We would still need one more driver.

Schedule:
7:15 Sat. Meet at Sehome Haggens
Race all day.
Done racing around 2:30 on Sunday.  Load boats then leave, back around 5.

Entry Fee:  $15.  Includes lunch and snacks Saturday and Sunday.  Please also bring money for dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning.  I would suggest at least $20 for these two meals. Make checks out to Sail Sand Point.

We will be staying at the Hood house as usual Saturday night, so bring sleeping pad, pillow, and sleeping bag.

No waiver this weekend.
