Unfortunately, we must start by paying tribute to a legend and a multi-decade servant to College Sailing, Dan Winters, who passed over the weekend. In an email forwarded by ICSA President, Mitch Bridley, Maxwell Plarr, Head Coach at Christopher Newport University and successor to Winters had the following to say about his colleague and mentor; “Dan H. Winters fulfilled many roles in his life. He was a husband, a father, a coach, a friend, a sailmaker, an animal lover, and when he was passionate about something, a well respected adversary. Of all the titles and roles that Dan held during his eighty years on this earth we will remember him because of the great knowledge he bestowed upon us and his selfless dedication to the causes he upheld. A man of moral and principle he taught thousands of people life lessons while becoming better sailors in the process.”
The ringing of eight bells signifies the end of one's watch at sea and traditionally marks the passing of a sailor.

Annapolis harbor welcomed teams from across the eastern seaboard for the annual Small Keelboat Invitational hosted by the US Naval Academy. Sailed in Navy's fleet of Colgate 26s, this event is a highlight of the fall for many programs with limited keelboat opportunities.
After a challenging first race, the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets began their scorecard ascent. This was Georgia Tech's first year participating in the event and the gusty, windy conditions were initially challenging for the Lake Lanier-based program. Dueling race by race throughout the weekend with fellow SAISA squad Clemson, and Queens College, a Canadian competitor, the Yellowjackets showed great form dialing in 4 bullets on the day, four additional podium finishes, and no score worse than their first race, an eighth. A late challenge by the Tribe of William & Mary kept Georgia Tech on their toes, but the Rambling Wreck finished the regatta with a 1-1-2 over the last quarter, securing first place overall and the regatta win. With their outstanding performance, Georgia Tech's Megan Ploch, Miller Goldenberg, Nicholas Brittain, and Robert Beauchamp earn this week's SAISA Sailors of the Week honors.
