BRUNSWICK, Maine – Bowdoin College’s Rebecca Schill capped an outstanding fall campaign with a seventh-place finish at the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Women’s Singlehanded National Championship, held this weekend at the American Yacht Club in Rye, N.Y.
Competing against 17 of the nation’s top collegiate sailors, Schill delivered an exceptionally consistent performance across the 14-race championship series, finishing no worse than eighth in any race. Battling cold temperatures and windy conditions throughout the weekend, the top seven finishers were separated by narrow margins. Schill finished just ten points out of third place, remaining in contention for a podium finish throughout the championship.
The seventh-place showing marked a significant improvement from Schill’s previous appearance at the Singlehanded Nationals when she took 14th as a sophomore in the fall of 2024. The performance puts an exclamation point on a tremendous fall season for Schill, who consistently demonstrated the ability to compete on a national stage and established herself as one of the top skippers in the country.
