Beka Schiff
College of Charleston senior and sailing team captain Beka Schiff won the SAISA Women’s Singlehanded Championship regatta in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Oct. 4, 2015.
Sailing in four races and tallying the lowest score (five points), Schiff (Tampa, Fla.) advanced to nationals for the third year in a row, but this time with SAISA title in hand. This year’s ICSA Men’s and Women’s Singlehanded Championships will be held on Nov. 6-8, 2015, at Old Dominion in Norfolk, Va.
Schiff also crewed A-Division with sophomore skipper Elizabeth Pemberton (Osterville, Mass.), as the College of Charleston women were runner-up at the SAISA Women’s Fall Dinghy event.
The venue for the inter-conference events moved to south Florida because weather conditions caused by Hurricane Joaquin were unsuitable for originally scheduled competition at the J. Stewart Walker Sailing Complex in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
