The league MALLORY Qualifier. March 28, 2015. Port Jefferson, NY

The Mallory Trophy is school sailing's oldest trophy. It was selected and presented to the then-IYRA (now ISSA) by Clifford Mallory and his son, when the elder Mallory was Commodore of Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, and President of NAYRU, the predecessor of US SAILING. The early competitions were in Atlantic-class sloops, hence the sterling silver model of the original Atlantic on the trophy. In recent years the competition for the ISSA Nationals has been in double handed dinghies in a two-division format. This was initiated when the U.S. Naval Academy took over hosting the event, after many years at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in keel sloops and Ravens. Prior to that stewardship, the series had been hosted by clubs, and once by a school for their first venture into dinghies, Fireflies at St. George's in 1959. The Mallory competition now is rotated among the ISSA districts.

Below is the registration, waiver, and med forms file for this season. 

We are going to start the sailing season indoors, see the suggestions below:

• Working out; inside and outside to get in shape for cold water sailing

• Checking gear

• Doing class session on techniques, tactics, strategies, and Sailing rules.

• "Virtually Sailing" in our computer lab using sail simulators which is new and a lot of fun.

The 3V sailing team is going to attend these session at The SBS school next week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, our normal schedule.

Report to Memorial room 4 at 3:45 in workout clothes for both inside and outside workouts.

We do need the forms filled out and the fee in before a sailor starts so they are covered under The SBS insurance.

I will be collecting the signed waivers & the last checks tonight at theory class, or you can drop them off in my mailbox till Sunday night.  

Finally, there is a Rules seminar by Dan Perry at Oakcliffe Sailing Center in Oyster Bay this Sunday from 2 - 5 pm. Is anyone interested? It is $30 per person.
