Sailing Information

Practical Links

Results for all of our events will always be posted at scores.hssailing.org.
Each event opens to the Report Summary by default. There you will see the current overall standings, with A and B division subtotals listed for each team. There's also an interesting graph at the bottom of the page that illustrates how teams progressed relative to each other throughout the event.
You can also click on the Full Scores tab, where you can see each individual race finish.
Or you can click on Division A or Division B, to see the rankings for those divisions, individually. You can also find the names and graduation year of the sailors who sailed each race.
You can also click Sailors for a look at every team's roster.
The Rotations link tells us which boat our team is assigned to for each two-race set, which is obviously critical.

Check out some of these videos for boat-handling review:

Boathandling should continue to be our most important focus until we are confident that our maneuvers are at least up to fleet par, and ideally tend to be a gain when they happen. Please check out this good video of CFJ Roll Tacks from Tufts University for some great examples.
Note how far the skippers are staying forward between tacks, with knees together in an athletic semi-taught posture; to translate body motions well to the boat.
Note how skippers always transfer the tiler extension to the new side and straighten the tiller, BEFORE moving their body across, so the tiller doesn't get stuck behind them, causing an over-turn.
Note how crews are trimming the jib in on the new tack with ONE LONG PULL, by "punching the sky"
Note how good tacks bring water way up on the boat's side deck or even into the cockpit, and the rudder comes nearly or completely out of the water! (Bring a bailer!)
