Day three started out with a light Easterly breeze as
the competitors sailed out to the race course on Lake St. Clair for the
final day of racing. PRO Marcia Everingham posted a six legged course but
the breeze faltered and the race was shortened to four legs. Mission Bay of
Scott & Evan Hoffman and Eric Alamillo did what they had to do and beat Team
FOR from Sarasota team to maintain their very thin lead. The Noroton YC
team of Will Vernon, Kelly Crane and Mat Nestor finished third.
For the final race of the series, the Team FOR of
Fred Strammer, Katrina Salk and Zeke Horowitz understood their position and
drove the Mission Bay team deep into the pack. The Shrewsbury team won the
race with Bayview in second and Sarasota in third. Mission Bay finished the
race in seventh place which turned out to be their throw-out.
This result gave Sarasota a one point victory to
win US SAILING's Sears Cup. Mission Bay in second place will earn the
Judge’s Trophy. The home team from Bayview YC of Blake Griffin Nicholas
Ridenour and Kevin Ginnebaugh overcame a slow start and finished third
overall
