(November 4, 2018) – The LaserPerformance Men’s and Women’s Singlehanded National Championships, hosted by Grand Valley State University and Hope College at the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club and Macatawa Bay Junior Association in Holland, Michigan wrapped up today with Henry Marshall (Auburndale, Mass.), a freshman at Harvard University winning the Men’s Championship and Christina Sakellaris (Milton, Mass.), a sophomore at Stanford University wining the Women’s Championship.
The championships included the top 18 men and top 18 women singlehanded sailors in the nation. LaserPerformance provided full rig Lasers and Laser Radials for the events and Marlow Ropes provided mainsheets. The competitors sailed out of Macatawa Bay Junior Association on both Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. The conditions for the first day of racing, on Saturday, were about 6 to 8 knots of wind from the East Northeast in the morning, off shore winds and lumpy waters with temperatures in the 40s. The wind switched to a West Northwest direction and picked up to about 8 to 14 knots with big swells on Lake Michigan. Eight races were completed for the men and women on windward leeward courses with four legs. Today was another cool day in the 40s. The winds were steady from the South East with puffs and ranging from 10 to 20 knots. Courses were all windward leeward with four legs this time sailing on Lake Macatawa. The competitors completed six races today finishing up the event with 14 races total around 2 p.m. Marshall is the winner of the Glen S. Foster Trophy, awarded to the first place finisher. This is his first collegiate national championship and it’s the first time in 15 years that Harvard has won the Men’s Singlehanded Nationals. “It was a great weekend of hard fought sailing,” says Marshall, “We saw a little bit of everything on the water. I'm happy to be heading home with a title and I'm super grateful to everyone who helped me, especially for the support of my teammates and, above all, my family.” Marshall led the event all weekend and finished with 40 points, 31 points ahead of second place. Leo Boucher, from St. Mary’s College of Maryland placed second and received the George Griswold Trophy. This is the first time that St. Mary’s has placed in the top two at this event. He finished with 71 points only two points ahead of Thomas McCann in third place, from Georgetown University. Sakellaris is the winner of the Janet Lutz Trophy, awarded to the first place finisher. She finished the regatta with 60 points only one point ahead of second place. “I am very proud and excited for Christina and our whole team,” says John Vandemoer, head coach for Stanford. “Christina knew the conditions were going to be all over the map with two race courses and an extreme forecast. She executed a game plan of keeping herself in every race knowing the consistent conservative sailing would win the event,” says Vandemoer. Charlotte Rose from Jacksonville University finished in second place with 61 points. And Sophia Reineke, from Boston College, who won this event last year, finished in third place with 69 points.
