Full Reports
Sam Ingham (Rochester, NY), who was
crew on the championship winning boat in 2005 is currently leading the
fleet but with five more races to go on Sunday, he and his crew, Graham
Gardner are being chased hard. Two of his top competitors, Evan
Miller & Alexander Steward, and Luke Lawrence& Alex Sachs have
competed in this championship before but newcomers to this championship,
Andrew Mason & Chris Segerblom (currently in third place) and Fritz Stunzi
& Trevor Burd (tied for fourth) are in the fight too. Sunday
will prove decisive as only five points separated the top five boats by
the end of racing today.
Miller was commended for his
determination by national chair, Arthur Stevens, as he has been ill
throughout the regatta but has continued to compete and perform at a high
level.
The races are being sailed in a round
robin with ten boats. The committee plans to get in five more races
on Sunday so that each team will have raced six times and that will
enable a discard. That discard could be the ultimate decider as to
who will be crowned 2007 U.S. Youth Mulithull Champions.
