Stevenson sailors close season with third place finish

Two sailing teams for Stevenson combined to crack the top 10 — ten times in their races to help them to a third place finish in the Silver Division at the statewide Anteater Regatta at Newport Harbor Yacht Club.

Claire Lee and Liah Yamamura placed in the top 10 in six of the seven races in the ‘A’ Fleet series, placing third overall.

The Pirates ‘B’ Fleet team of Patrick O’Hara and Dillan Spence collected four top 10 finishes to place seventh in their division.

The combined score of the two teams propelled the Pirates to a podium finish, placing third among 33 teams from throughout the state.

Stevenson finished behind Corona Del Mar of Newport Beach and Design Tech of Redwood City.

Last week Lee was a part of two sailing teams for Stevenson that finished in the top five at the Northern California Regatta, paring with both O’Hara and Yamamura.
