Sail1Design has been lucky to be part of some great moments over the years, mostly when we do our job, and take part in recognizing the very foundation of our sport: youth, high school, college, and one-design sailors. Reading nomination letters, hearing from our community about unsung heroes, sharing in the joy of the winners…… makes the whole Sail1Design project, now 15+ years in the making, more than worth it. It is always nice to hear about people in our sport not only doing things well, but doing things the right way.
Remember, for Coach of the Year, we only choose candidates from nomination letters sent in, so we sit back, wait, and take what we get. This year, over the last month we were faced (again) with a lot of really good nominations, and we whittled that down to a small list of finalists. It was difficult to narrow this deserving field. Not easy. After going back and forth, the team decided that this years winner had to be Nick Kaschak. Nick is deserving on so many levels; what stood out was the sheer number of separate letters he received, and of course, what those letters described. The best thing we read, among many, was that Nick is not a win-at-all-costs coach; we see far too much of this today. There are things far more important than trophies. Below are excerpts from six separate nomination letters that Nick received:
Accomplishments aside, Nick is humble, kind, responsive, and…wait for it….organized! My daughter has had the privilege of training with Nick and he has really made an impact on her sailing career. Because of Nick, she has had the opportunity to compete at the national level, and this summer she’ll compete internationally. We are so grateful, and can’t think of a more deserving coach for an award such as this.
Thank you for your consideration.

Saturday, May 27:
Day one of the Open Team Race National Championship started with north winds from 4 to 6 knots. After logging about eighteen races, the wind shut down and sent all teams in for a long wind delay. Schools joined in for other forms of team activities
Sunday, May 28:
Day two began with another long wind delay as folks on shore hoped and waited for the late sea breeze to kick in. Race Committee lowered the AP at 12:45 PM and sailors hit Long Island Sound with SSE winds around 5 to 8 knots with a building breeze throughout the day. Teams dueled it out throughout the afternoon, but the race to watch was between Stanford and Yale, as both teams were undefeated going into the race. The pair did not disappoint as boat handling, swift decision-making, and boat speed were key. Stanford started strong off the pin, controlling the left side of the course, and rounded mark 1 in a tight 1,2, 5. On the downwind, Stanford lost control of the 1,2 as constant jibing duels resulted in a foul. After rounding Mark 4, Stanford was able to use their boat speed and control of the left side of the course to get back in control of the 1,2 and was able to finish in a 1,2,5 combination. A full round-robin was complete, but there was a tie for 8th place between U.S. Naval Academy, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and the University of Pennsylvania. Therefore, a sail-off between the three schools had to occur to decide the top 8. After a fierce battle, St. Mary’s College of Maryland won and moved to the Final 8.
