SEISA Sailors, Supporters, and Alumni,

Below and attached are the results of this years SEISA Championship. Points are allocated based on finishes in each of the 6 regattas (Sloops, Mens and Women's Singles, Women's, TR, Dinghies). Points are given in reverse order of finish; so for a 10 boat championship the first place team gets 10 points, second gets 9 and so on. In the case of singles only the top finisher form each school is worth any points. In the case of a tie, the team that attended more championships or beat the other more times wins the tie break.
I have also attached the full regatta attendance and scoring spreadsheet so you can see who attended what events. The percentage next to each score shows how each finish is valued compared to other events (since 5th in a 5 boat fleet is worth less than 5th in a 13 boat fleet). Pink highlights the entry of a women's team, green shows advancement to a national semifinal or championship, an (*) or (I) indicates an intersectional.

Sincerely,
Blake Billman
SEISA Graduate Director

With a southeast breeze blowing at 4-12 knots and 40-degree shifts in Offatts Bayou, racing commenced with four official and two unofficial schools. Two rotations in thirty races were completed, with only those between official teams counting. After 30 races, a sail-off was necessary between USA and UT to determine the final winner. No protests were filed. Thanks to the entire TAMUG Sailing Team in support of the championship event. Also, we extend our sincere appreciation to Charles Milby, Hugh Haggerty and Christine Nguyen for their work as race officials.

Congratulations to the University of Texas Sailing Team for winning the SEISA championship and qualifying for the 2008 ICSA National Championship.

Winning Team: Mark Hulings, Betsy Marger, Nataleigh Vann, Nicola Kirkham, Chase Dearing, Brandon Fiew
