SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The University of Hawaii coed sailing team concluded its fall season with a fifth-place finish in the Fall Pacific Coast Championship hosted by UC Santa Barbara, Nov. 18-19.

Erik Anderson and Amanda Turner sailed in the A division, while Everett McAvoy and Sophia Shaeffer competed in the B division. Vivian Bønsager, Kees Horn, and Malia Johnson all raced in the C division. The three teams scored 64, 49, and 47 points respectively with UH's A team scoring the highest finish in their division at 5th.
