Sailing: South points 6 varsity and junior varsity competition was hosted by H.B.Plant high school at the Davis Island Yacht Club on March 2. Many teams were hungry as they are on the cusp of not qualifying for the district qualifier.

ILS finished 7^th overall in the tricky light winds. In Varsity, Umi Noritake skippered, and Nathalie Caudron (crew) sailed the five races and were 8^th in A division. Keith Grupenhoff skippered, and Soleil Aurignac crewed to third place in B division. Jadin Gonzalez and Marco Andres were heavy air crews for varsity that unfortunately didn’t get a chance to sail. ILS JV 1 finsihed 2^nd – with David Coates skippering and Lucia Martinez-Moore crewing to 2^nd in A division, and Leonardo Terzani skippering and Marina Wardlaw crewing to 2^nd place in B. ILS JV2 finished 3^rd, with Beck Brill skippering and Kristian Gutierrez finishing 3^rd in A, and Isabella Henrich skippering with Alejandro Escudero finishing 4^th in B.

A solid showing for ILS sailing as they head into the final stretch of the season. The final South Points ranking regatta will be held in Vero Beach on March 16. The south points series qualifies the top teams to compete in the District Qualifier for Nationals, which will be held on April 27-28 at the College of Charleston. ILS sailors headed into this event ranked 1^st in the SAISA south rankings, although they may slip slightly with this recent event, they are still on track to finish well in the division and make the qualifiers.
