Congrats to Harrison Gandy / JP Panebianco for winning the 3-day Midwinter Championship. The duo sailed a very consistent regatta, winning 5 races and throwing out an 8th - collecting just 21 points over 10 races.

Amelia Woodworth / Grace Kinney were the top women's team and 2nd overall with 30 total points, 16 points ahead of third place. They had two bullets and two 2nds.

Auturo Zizold/Alessandro Baldassari were the top U17 team, finishing 3rd overall with 46 total points. They were able to pull away from two teams nipping at their heels going into the final day, to take third by 8 points.

Will Whidden/Ellie Millar were the top mixed team, finishing 6th overall on a tie breaker.

Racing was close across the entire fleet - with just 10 points separating 5th thru 9th, including a tie breaker for 6th - and 11th thru 15th separated by only 8 points! And a tie breaker for 17th.

Big thanks to PRO Carol Ewing and her team for an excellent 10-race regatta over 3 glorious days in the ocean off Miami. Thanks to Florencia Barletta and everyone at Miami Yacht Club for hosting the event again this year.
