Orcas High School Sailing Team is heading to Nationals!
— from Gwyneth Burrill for Sail Orcas —
The Orcas High School Sailing Team is a hot item on the NW racing circuit this year. After winning the NWISA Team District Championships last weekend they will be representing the PNW in Norfolk, VA May 26-28 for the Baker Trophy National High School Team Race Championship. Good on you guys!
Since the right to go to nationals was just won last weekend the families had not budgeted for the cost of travel. Sail Orcas doesn’t have the budget for it either so we’re reaching out to the community for help. Many of you have contributed to this fund raiser already.
