20 teams from 12 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands have travelled to Cleveland to compete in the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA) High School Doublehanded Championship for the Mallory Trophy at the Old Coast Guard Station at Wendy Park in Cleveland, OH on June 5 & 6, 2021.

(From ISSA Website) The Mallory Trophy is high school sailing's oldest trophy. It was selected and presented to the then-IYRA (now ISSA) by Clifford Mallory and his son, when the elder Mallory was Commodore of Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, and President of NAYRU, the predecessor of US SAILING. The early competitions were in Atlantic-class sloops, hence the sterling silver model of the original Atlantic on the trophy. In recent years the competition for the ISSA Nationals has been in double-handed dinghies in a two-division format. This was initiated when the U.S. Naval Academy took over hosting the event, after many years at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in keel sloops and Ravens. The Mallory competition now is rotated among the ISSA districts. This year’s championship is hosted by The Foundry in Cleveland, OH.
