Antilles School Wins Baker US High School Team Racing National Championship

Miami, FL– 5/24/2021   Antilles School of St. Thomas, USVI prevailed in the 12-team Baker TR National Championship held at Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove, FL this past weekend. Conditions were excellent both days, with a full round-robin sailed on Saturday in a NE wind 15-23 knots, and on Sunday the NE winds were down around 9-13 knots. Sunday’s double-round robin for the top 4 was not to be, as a 3-team tiw-breaker for 4th place ate up all of the morning sailing. In the end, Antilles sailed calmly, worked together brilliantly and topped home team Ransom Everglades in a best-of-three sail-off to claim the title. Their team is a worthy championship group. Finishing 3rd overall was Severn School from Annapolis, MD.
