Subject: 2010 Lawrence A. White Trophy, High School Open Fall Regatta, USCGA, Oct 16-17

The 2010 Lawrence A. White Trophy, is scheduled for Oct 16 -17, 2010 at the US Coast Guard Academy. This regatta is open to all ISSA schools on a first come first serve basis with spots reserved for each district. Please post on your District web pages. Last year we had 4 of the 7 districts represented. The venue at the USCGA is exceptional, with great spectator and coaching views of the racing from the deck of Jacobs Rock Boat House. And with peak fall foliage, the view will be spectacular. This regatta would be an excellent opportunity for high school students interested with visiting New England Colleges.
