Dave Perry Wins US Sailing's Match Racing Championship
(Prince of Wales Bowl) |
|
It all came down the final race on the final day of the U.S. Match Racing Championship on Saturday, hosted by Fort Worth
Boat Club. A face-off between the team representing Pequot Yacht Club led by Dave Perry and the team led by defending
champion Brian Angel representing King Harbor Yacht Club went to the max, as the best out of 5 series went to 2-2. In
the deciding race, Dave Perry and his crew Terry Flynn and Chris Museler came out ahead of Brian Angel and his crew
Michael Delanty and Payson Infelise to take home the title. This marked Dave Perry's second U.S. Match Racing
Championship title, after previously winning it in 1982 (when he represented Yale Corinthian Yacht Club).
The Petit Final, the battle for third place, turned out to be just as exciting as the competitors went to the best-out-of-three
limit. The Bayview Yacht Club team led by Nathan Hollerbach, who won the Championship just three
years ago, edged out over Benz Faget's team representing Southern Yacht Club. Hollerbach had set the stage
on Friday starting off the Petit Final with a win in the first race, but Faget came out prepared on Saturday morning to tie the series 1-1.
In the final race, Hollerbach came roaring back to win the race and take third place.

Robert Hobbs Wins US Sailing's Offshore Championship
(Lloyd Phoenix Trophy) |
|
With just ten points after five races at the U.S. Offshore Championship, sailed at Long Beach Yacht Club
on Catalina 37s, Robert Hobbs (Tampa, FL) and his team from Davis Island Yacht Club won the regatta and the Lloyd Phoenix Trophy last Sunday.
This marks the first time in the 21-year history of the Championship that a team from Florida won the event. Led by Robert Hobbs, the team consisted of James Traun (Valrico, FL), Mike Gable (Grasonville, MD),
Cory Thompson (Valrico, CA), Alan Thompson (Lithia, FL), Josh Wilus (Tampa, FL) and Cameron Salmon (Tampa, FL).
The lead changed several times throughout the three-day regatta. Eventual champion Robert Hobbs started off the event with a fourth place, but managed to pick up the pace to finish the
regatta with two race wins and two second place finishes. Washington D.C. sailor Erik Wulff took his team to second place overall while the team from the state of Washington led by
John Buchan finished third overall. Proving that local knowledge did not pay off at this year's event which was plagued by flaky winds, the highest finishing Californian team, led by
Claudia Wainer, finished fourth overall.
