2020 HSC Fleet Racing Season Wrapup
Hoover’s 2020 racing season was a great success despite the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Governor lifted the ban on events like softball, baseball, and sporting events, like sailing, so we were off to the races. We lost 10 weeks of sailing because of the Pandemic in April and May.

Scot Spot
The 2020 sailing season is over and I am hopeful it is NOT repeated. I hope you got out sailing on your Scot this past season. It was one of the safest activities you could do with the breeze blowing past and the Sect in particular allowing for social distancing between skipper and crew.

The State of High School Sailing & Fall 2020 Awards
What a great season we had despite everything 2020 has thrown at us! Think back to March when everything spring was canceled. Think to May when summer JRT was canceled and Learn to Sail was severely limited. Now think to August at the High School open house when we kicked off our season with 53 kids on the water and … Read More
2020 Rippel Award
This year our junior sailors were faced with a less then perfect situation; this is an understatement. That said, they handled it perfectly, also an understatement. At the beginning of the year our sailors did not know if they would have a season at all, everyone took it all in stride. From virtual practices to not being able to travel … Read More
