Sixty-one
sailors from ten states competed for the Great Oaks Trophy.
Strong 25-30 mph NW winds and 4-5' seas had the teams
retreating to the French Quarter for a day of sightseeing on
Saturday. Sunday brought 10-15 mph WNW breeze and calmer seas.
Fourteen races were sailed in Club420’s provided by SYC,
Pontchartrain Yacht Club, and Tulane University Sailing Team.
Metairie Park Country Day School of Metairie, LA
sailors Philip Schmalz and Jackson Benvenutti finished first
with 45 points. Maryknoll School of Honolulu, HI sailors
Denise Kobashikawa and Martin Sterling placed second with 60
points. Brother and sister team of William and Lauren
Pochereva of Punahou High School also in Honolulu finished a
close third with 62 points. Seniors Philip Schmalz and William
Pochereva were both pleased to place in the medals since this
event was their last Great Oaks. Philip has sailed in the
regatta three times and this was William’s second trip to
New Orleans for the fall event.
The Great Oaks Regatta is a national invitational

Association for new high school sailing teams three years or
