What a great day of sailing at Lake Mayer in Savannah, Georgia. Nine teams from Georgia and South Carolina competed as the weather cooperated and the wind kept teams vying for a top finish throughout the day.  Ashley Hall placed 1st, while Richmond Hill placed 2nd and Glenn Academy 3rd. Pictured above is the Savannah Sailing Center’s high school teams who competed in the Regatta ( JenkinsH.S., Richmond Hill H.S. and St. Vincents H.S.).

“US SAILING Recognizes 2008’s Outstanding Sailing Coaches

Portsmouth, R.I. (January 20, 2009) – US SAILING’s Olympic Sailing Committee (OSC) has chosen three outstanding sailing coaches for the 2008 Coaches of the Year Awards. The awards are a part of the United States Olympic Committee’s (USOC) Coach Recognition Program, which highlights the accomplishments and contributions of coaches who train athletes at all levels of sailing. Based on nominations from the public, the OSC has named Betsy Alison (Newport, R.I.) as National Coach of the Year, Brett Davis (Naples, Fla.) as Developmental Coach of the Year and Carrie Rohde (Richmond Hill, Ga.) as Volunteer Coach of the Year. These three winners showed extraordinary dedication to the sport of sailing in 2008.

The OSC has also nominated these winners to the USOC for consideration for the 2008 Coaches of the Year Awards across all Olympic and Paralympic sports.

US SAILING’s 2008 Volunteer Coach of the Year: Carrie Rohde
Carrie Rohde has made a huge difference to the sport of sailing by turning people who have never sailed before into passionate competitors. Thanks to Rohde, sailing has become the most popular sports team at Richmond Hill High School in Richmond Hill, Ga., where sailing didn’t even exist a few years ago. She made it fun and competitive for high school students, no matter what their skill level. Also, as an active volunteer of the Savannah Sailing Center, Rodhe encourages public school children from a rural community to sail, finding inexpensive ways to get them on the water. As a result, sailing is thriving in an area that would otherwise be a fishing community. “She is building something for nothing at a time in our sport [when] we are having a harder time keeping high school kids involved and getting the needed funds,” said Ryan Hamm (Charleston, S.C.), a previous recipient of this award.

Previous winners of sailing’s Volunteer Coach of the Year Award are Matt Dubois (Grosse Ile, Mich.), Ryan Hamm (Charleston, S.C.), Susan Kaseler (Bainbridge Island, Wash.) and T. Park McRitchie (Port Clinton, Ohio).
The goals of the USOC’s Coaching Recognition Program are to recognize the tremendous accomplishments and contributions coaches make to sports at all levels of athlete development and to elevate the status of coaching as a profession.” – ussailing.org
