RE claims second in national sailing championship
Ransom Everglades' sailing team finished second in the team race high school national championships that took place at Ransom Everglades on May 22-23. Led by skippers Javier Garcon '21, Liam O'Keefe '21, Stephan Baker '22 and Nicolas Echarte '21, RE tied the Antilles School of the U.S. Virgin Islands with a 12-2 record at the end of regulation, then fell short in the three-race playoff. Twelve teams from around the nation participated in the International Sailing Association Baker Team Race National Championships.
A team from Severn School in Maryland finished third, and the Christchurch School in Virginia, fourth. The team race championship was held for the first time at Ransom Everglades; it was supposed to take place last year, but was cancelled because of the pandemic.
In windy conditions, Ransom Everglades jumped into the lead after the first day of racing under the direction of coach Joe Logan and with the help of crew Hannah Bast '21, Louis La Fontisse '21, Lucas Vianna '21, Adam Kaplan '21 and Aidan Murphy '21. With high hopes of winning, the second day's defeat was disappointing for the Raiders, but it still represented a stellar performance after a season dramatically affected by the pandemic.
High school racing did not commence until the winter; the Raiders opened their season on February 20 with a regional regatta at Ransom Everglades. Fewer sailors than in previous years were permitted to compete in events because of pandemic restrictions.
