Nick Kaschak-Pyle (at left with the crew) won his division in the national high school fleet racing championship regatta (Mallory Cup) at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis on May 11. He is a member of the Point Loma (San Diego) High School Sailing Team. Regional championships around the country determined the top 20 schools to compete for the highly coveted Mallory Cup in the national championship regatta. Point Loma qualified for the nationals by winning the Pacific Coast Championship Regatta. The only RI school to qualify was St. Georges which finished 9th. Nick is the son of CYC members Chick & Alexis Pyle and began his sailing career at the Conanicut Yacht Club.
