With the arrival of week 4 in college sailing, interconference competition gets underway pitting SAISA sailors against other teams across the country. At the Kings Point Dinghy Open hosted by the United Merchant Marine Academy, Jacksonville University sailors Matt King and Liz Johnson delivered an outstanding performance winning B-division in a field of 22 teams, positioning the Fins in second place overall just ten points back from the overall win, and earning Week 4 SAISA Sailors of the Week honors in the process. King and Johnson sailed a very consistent event averaging a third place finish over the course of an eleven race series, including two bye races due to a larger fleet than anticipated. Kings Point's notorious trapezoid course put a premium on a successful first beat in which King and Johnson were able to round the top mark in the top third of the fleet nearly every race. Great downwind positioning in pressure coupled with strong boat handling allowed the Fins team to chip away into the top three finishers in seven of their nine races sailed. Congrats to Matt and Liz for earning this week's SAISA Sailors of the Week.
