Soaring Sayres

Regional high school freshman Rasmus Sayre, his father, Nevin, and sister, Solvig, each collected top awards in their divisions at windsurfing championships in Coco Beach, Fla. recently. Rasmus Sayre, 14, won the Techno 293 North American Championship in the Under 17 age group. Solvig Sayre, 20, who hopes to compete in the 2016 Olympics, bested the RS:X Olympic Class in the Women’s Division. Nevin Sayre became U.S. National Champion overall in the Kona Class.

It was the first time the Sayres had each won their divisions in a major competition.

Both Nevin and Solvig Sayre have sailed with the regional high school team and the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club team.
