Lady Helms Sweep Podium Positions at 2024 Midwinters

2024 Wayfarer Midwinters champions, AnnMarie Covington and Gareth Ferguson in fine Friday form
.
2024.02.24   Our mostly light-air six-race Wayfarer Midwinters, hosted Feb. 2-4 by Florida's Lake Eustis SC, featured what may have been a sailing first in any major one-design fleet regatta: Our fleet of 21 Wayfarers had five female helms sailing, three of whom placed 1-2-3 in a virtual tie at the top, counting 11, 11 and 12 points respectively. Despite evenly matched racing, it was North Carolina's AnnMarie Covington with Gareth Ferguson, Sue Pilling (W11149 below)) with Steph Romaniuk of Parry Sound, Ontario,  and Michigan's Peggy Menzies (W11158 below) with son, Will Helmen, who rose to the top often enough that their points total were half that of the next closest pursuer. Completed coverage here.
