A brief look at the college sailing venues of New England.
Rochester YC (N.Y.) hosted 96 J/24s for the 2012 World Championship on Lake Ontario this September. After the 10-race series, Brazil’s Mauricio Santa Cruz and team on Bruschetta took the championship title, while the U.S. team of John Mollicone and 11th Hour Racing finished second.

A record 425 college sailors from 38 schools racing 45 borrowed boats came together to participate in the Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta in early October. The event was hosted by the Storm Trysail Foundation and the Larchmont Yacht Club. Photos: Carter Williams and Maureen C. Koeppel
A record-breaking 33 Melges 32s representing eight countries race out of Newport, R.I., for the world championship through Sept. 29. Big breeze is forecasted, and a collision has already forced the retirement of one team. Photos: ©2012 JOY | International Melges 32 Class Association
After many years and many miles at the helm, the recent Bermuda Race experience stands out as one of my all-time favorites. Jobson Report from our September 2012 issue.
Missed the Newport International Boat Show on September 13-16? Take a virtual stroll down the docks with the editors of SW.
Visions of a fast Vineyard Race and Saturday afternoon finish dashed through my head. Could it really happen? Or was this just another forecast destined to fail?
**School is out for the summer, and so is college sailing. Without a detailed practice and regatta schedule, young sailors across the country have to find alternative ways to keep their skills sharp and their sunglass tans sharper. We caught up with a handful of students to find out what they’re doing during these sunny months, ensuring that at least a few memories of Summer 2012 will outlast Orientation Week. **
I have personally sported the Aigle Maramu Lace Up Boot since my freshman year of college. Now, dark rumors that the line has been discontinued have combined with “sold out” availabilities in my size everywhere I look online to create a perfect storm of terror. With my own boots desperately in need of replacement, I’m almost willing to ship myself to France to find a new pair.
The 2012 Mass Bay Junior Olympic Festival that took place at Annisquam Yacht Club was accompanied by sunshine and light air on Monday, giving way to more breeze on Tuesday. Thomas Walden and William Hundahl from Pleon won first in the C420 fleet of 50 boats, while Nicholas Mehlman and Antonia Rerisi of MSA took home first in C420 Green. Zoe Ting of Sandy Bay YC brought home first in Optimist Green, and Emma Rose Safford, also of Sandy Bay, won in the Optimist White fleet. Jed Bell of Hingham YC
