The expected 8 teams entering the US Sailing Match Racing (two boats sailing against each other) Championships for Areas D and F held at the Lake Eustis Sailing Club this past weekend dropped to four with three teams from Florida and one from Wisconsin. Recent dropping of the match racing from the Summer Olympics of 2016 is blamed for the cancelations. Larry Londrigan of the Lake Baldwin Community Sailing LLC conducted 26 individual races on Saturday with his Geary 18 keel boats.
The winning skipper was Sean Ross of the University of South Florida with a score of 5. Second skipper was Wes Byre of Eckerd College with a score of 4 and third was the team of Ben Getchell, Luke Yates and Cameron Smith of Eustis High School with a score of 3.
Sean Ross’s team will advance to the finals at Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach, California on October 12 to 16.
