by Julie & Christopher Howell 19 Sep 2021 23:51 PDT September 16 - 19, 2021

Team USA1516 of Lee Sackett, Dave Kerr, Tom Sessions and Ian Moran bested 31 all-amateur teams to emerge victorious at the Mustang Survival J/70 Corinthian US National Championship hosted by Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, MA.

Seven races were completed from September 17-19, and USA1516 kept scores only in the top five to tally 19 net points. Nobuyuki Imai's Siesta came all the way from Japan and earned second place with 25 net points. Local Stein Skaane's Shred placed third with 28 net points.

Congratulations to top female skipper Cate Muller-Terhune's Murder Hornet, and youngest skipper (19-year-old) Josh Becker's Awkward Turtle.

The Class Rules were modified to allow communications by the coaches (Jud Smith and Tomas Hornos of Doyle Sails, Allan Terhune of North Sails, Kris Werner of Quantum Sails and Geoff Becker) before, between and after racing through Saturday. Mornings and evenings also featured debrief sessions at EYC, including drone video and question-and-answer opportunities.

Sunday's race winners were: Massimo Soriano's TEN, Cate Muller-Terhune's Murder Hornet, Lee Sackett's USA1516 and Stein Skaane's Shred.
