University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa sailor Erik Anderson has earned a bid to the Intercollegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) Singlehanded National Championships, becoming the first UH Mānoa men’s sailor to qualify for the event since Mark Spector in 2007.
The 2024 Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference (PCCSC) Sportsmanship of the Year award winner will join an exclusive club of Rainbow sailors to compete on the national stage in the singlehanded discipline. Anderson is only the eighth qualification in program history, and the sixth individual sailor to do so.
After placing in the top three for three consecutive years at the PCCSC Singlehanded Championships, the two-time All-PCCSC skipper will be the lone Rainbow sailor to head to the east coast to represent the ʻBows at the ICSA Singlehandeds. The event, hosted by Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, will take place November 8–9.
