Hilton Head Prep sailed to an impressive second-place finish and John Paul II cracked the top 10 in the 25-team open division, and the Dolphins finished third in the South Atlantic Interscholastic Sailing Association’s North Points regatta Saturday at Jordan Lake in Raleigh.
Skippers Will Tebrake and Escher Lucier led the Dolphins’ strong showing, as HHP finished behind only James Island in the open race and placed third among 11 teams in the simultaneous points race.
