MT PLEASANT, S.C. --- The College of Charleston sailing team is on the road for a pair of events this weekend, with the Cougars' top solo sailors traveling to ICSA Men's and Women's Singlehanded Nationals in St. Petersburg, Fla., and the offshore team heading to Annapolis, Md. for the Kennedy Cup. Both events will be contested over two days on Saturday and Sunday, November 4 and 5.
