VX ONE Winter Series 2014 - Sarasota, FL, USA – It was a family affair at the top of the leaderboard for the opening weekend of the VX One Winter Series.

The conditions challenged and excited competitors during the three-day event, with winds consistently in the mid-teens and above, keeping teams on the edge downwind between blazing speeds and losing control. The building breeze culminated on Sunday with gusts into the high 20s when racing was ended for the day.

The Winter Series continues on January 30-February 1, 2015 (Midwinter Championship) and March 20-22, 2015 at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron.
