This past weekend 76 Interclub Dinghy sailors braved sub-freezing temperatures and a near blizzard at the IC Midwinter Championship hosted by Severn Sailing Association in Annapolis, MD.
The Midwinters feature a college-style A and B division format where 19 teams came from all over the east coast.
Team Vineyard Vines out of Larchmont YC with John and Molly Baxter sailing A division and Danny Pletsch with crew Meagan Magill in B division won the event by a decisive 33 points. The second place team with 57 points was Paul-Jon Patin and Kendall Mockridge in A joined with Mike Ingham and Victor De Leon sailing B division.
The highlights of the regatta include numerous bowls of chili, chowder, a roaring fire and other warm libations between sets. The next leg on the IC circuit is the Stanley Bell Memorial Regatta at Larchmont YC March 13-14.
