"It's only our second season in the 13s so it's pretty exciting," Bates said. "We weren't sure if we'd done enough to win it with one race to go, but when that was called off it left us in the lead. "Orlando sailed really well and now we're hoping we can do it all again

Topping off a win in the last heat, SailMedia also took out the overall handicap results.
