2014 /2015 International Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series - Event No. 1 - One final light air race concluded the 2014/15 Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Act No. 1 on Sunday, hosted by Coconut Grove Sailing Club (CGSC) with championship winner Jason Michas on Midnight Blue along with tactician Mark Mendelblatt and crew Trevor Moore winning the final heat and taking the overall win. Tied with equal points in second place is Marc Hollerbach's Fu, followed by Achille Onorato's Mascalzone Latino Jr. for third.
In addition to the overall standings, the battle for the Corinthian title remained hot and heated over the three-day event. 2013 Corinthian U.S. National Champion Brian Hill on Atlas captured the all-amateur division top prize. Tate Russack on Diesel claimed a well-deserved second while Canada's Paul Currie on Wild Deuces proudly took third.
A very special thanks
As always the IAM20CA is grateful for the dedication of CGSC and their entire team of volunteers and race committee members. PRO Bruce Golison and his team once again did an amazing job firing off races in some very tough conditions. Many thanks will always be to all teams, sailors and owners for joining the fleet and experiencing an incredible regatta.
