The ICSA / Laser Performance Men's and Women's Singlehanded Championships has concluded, with some lead changes and very close sailing. Conditions continued to be unseasonably chilly and breezy on Tampa Bay, with winds
averaging between the mid to upper-teens for the entire regatta.


After 16 races in the men's regatta, Georgetown's Charlie Buckingham and Roger William's Cy Thompson were tied. Buckingham's 3-15 bested Thompson's 11-11 last two races, and they ended 1-2. The battle for third was even
closer, with University of South Florida's Zack Marks tied with Yale's Cam Cullman going into the final race. Cullman prevailed, passing Marks upwind to win the final race and collect third.


On the women's side, Claire Dennis from Yale had an amazing string of eight wins in a row, but eventually won by only a single point over defending champion Anne Haeger from Boston College, who rallied back from a nine point deficit the final day to close the gap. And as in the men's race, the race for third was equally tight. With just one race to go, Yale's Emily Billing had a narrow one point lead over Hobart & William Smith's Arielle DeLisser. DeLisser won
the final race, though, to capture third overall.

All races were WL x 5, with a windward offset and leeward gate. Five breakdowns were awarded, three OCS's, and no protests filed. ICSA President Mitch Brindley served as ICSA rep.

Special thanks to LaserPerformance, title sponsor, for providing 36 new Lasers for the event, to the St. Petersburg Yacht Club and Sailing Center for offering their venues, to Regatta Chair Tom Wallace, PRO Pat Seidenspinner and her team of volunteers, head coach Todd Fedsyzyn and his staff, head judge Serge Jorgensen and his jurors, and to the University of South Florida sailing team member volunteers.
