Charleston Sailing Team Field Breadth of Talent at Charleston Race Week 2024

april26 2024 crw 1s

Charleston, South Carolina, April 25, 2024. The 28th edition of Charleston Race Week at Patriots Point was a time for celebration for the College of Charleston Sailing Team; it can be proud of the depth of talent that it fielded at the prestigious regatta, one of the largest held annually in the country. Some seventy alumni and students were a force to be reckoned with, taking podium places across the 180-strong fleet.

“We were proud when our teams sailed their best and we were of course always thrilled when they won,” Greg Fisher, former College of Charleston Sailing Director 2010-2018, said. “But what has always been so important to our coaches and staff is that when our sailors graduate, they stick with the sport with the same passion and commitment. The number of alumni and members of the sailing team present at racing Race Week was amazing and speaks to that commitment. Among them are world and national champions, Rolex Yachtsman of the Year finalists, and of course, weekend warriors who just love sailing.”

28th Edition of Charleston Race Week at Patriots Point Wraps Up

final1 s

Charleston, SC – April 20, 2024 – Charleston: a wonderful place to completely turn off before turning onto some of the nation's most challenging sailing conditions, to get excited for the upcoming sailing season, see your friends, escape the cold, and simply have a great time, all at Charleston Race Week. And, if you don't win the regatta, there are always four nights of post racing parties on the USS Yorktown.

On Sunday, race committees on all three inside circles executed two races in variable conditions for all one-design fleets. Classes on Circle 1 (Melges 20, J24, J22) completed eight races, (PHRF Inshore sailed seven races), Circle 2 (Melges 24, J70, VX One ) sailed seven races, Circle 3 (J/88, Melges 32, J/105, ORC D) all completed six races for the regatta. In the Offshore Racing Pursuit division distance courses were sailed for Non-Spinnaker, Spinnaker A, B, and C classes who enjoyed solid racing in a range of conditions.

The 28th edition of the "regatta like no other" came through for some 180 boats racing in sixteen classes, with multiple lead changes determining final places right up until the last race.

The action at the pinnacle of the 28-strong VX One fleet couldn't be tighter with a battle between Trevor Parekh on Bro Safari and SDR, skippered by Jack Jorgensen. Parekh and his crew Marc Farmer prevailed finishing with a lead of just one point over SDR, skippered by Jack Jorgensen, however the delta between second place and third is a substantial twelve points.
