(John Cole photo above) of the Catawba YC
in Charlotte, NC sailed Black
Skimmer to a spectacular come-back

first eight of the nine races, but lost to
Team Cook in the tie-breaking finale.
Note how winners sit well forward.
2021.02.06 Surprise winners. A pair of Sunday firsts by the 6th-seeded team of Jim Cook and Mike Taylor brought the 2021 Midswinters championship (and the 2020 U.S. title) to Charlotte, NC. It was close but no cigar for Silver medallists, Marc Bennett and wife, Julie, from East Lansing, Michigan, who ended up two points back. Champions three of the past four years, Dave Moring and Arial Harrington of the host Lake Eustis (FL) SC, ended up series 3rd this year. Click here for the latest Midwinters news.  LESC's Craig Yates and FS-sailor, Rob Krentel (green hull above), were run-away winners in the Non-Spinnaker Fleet. Lake Townsend's Phil Leonard and Jeanne Allamby were solid runners-up while series 3rd went to Jim Burns and Mike Tighe of the host club.
