RE sailors qualify for school-record third national championship
RE Sailing qualified for the fleet racing national sailing championships with a first-place finish in a major Interscholastic Sailing Association event held in rainy, gusty conditions on Biscayne Bay April 22-23. With the victory, Ransom Everglades has now qualified for all three high school sailing national championships for the first time in school history.
The Raiders, who hosted the South Atlantic Interscholastic Sailing Association event off of the RE docks, topped a 16-school field from throughout the Southeast with 94 points to secure the bid to the ISSA Mallory Doublehanded Championships May 12-14 in Cambridge, Mass.
The Antilles School from St. Thomas, VI, finished second with 102; St. Thomas Aquinas High won third with 108, and HB Plant High from Tampa claimed fourth with 117. Gulliver Prep finished sixth with 118.
RE's Lobree qualified last fall for the third national championship, the ISSA Singlehanded National Championships in Galveston, Tex., Oct. 28-30. He finished 11th overall in that event, known as the Cressy championship.
The sailing team has been coached by Captain Joseph Logan III, in his first year at Ransom Everglades.
