Southern Sailors Earn Top Honors at
U.S. Youth Sailing Championships,
San Pedro, CA, Aug. 4
From US SAILING
The best-of-the-best were on display at the 2010 U.S. Youth
Sailing Championships, hosted by the Cabrillo Beach Yacht
Club in San Pedro, CA. This year’s championship showcased
top-level junior sailors from around the country in
four highly competitive fleets, including C420s, Lasers,
Radials, and 29ers. Three of the four fleets were won by US
SAILING Development Team (USSDT) members.
Mateo Vargas (St. Petersburg Yacht Club) overcame a narrow
two-point deficit to USSDT teammate Michell Kiss
(Macatawa Bay Yacht Club) to win the Radial fleet. “I actually
prefer to come from behind,” said Vargas. “I like to be in
that position.” Consistency paid off for Vargas. He pulled
away from the Radial contenders winning by 10 points. Kiss
finished second, and fellow USSDT member and defending
champion, Christopher Stocke (Sarasota Youth Sailing Prog.)
finished third. Earlier this summer, Vargas finished second at
the Radial North American Championships in Texas.
SOUTHWINDS Annual Online West Florida
Race Calendar Posted Sept. 1
For the past five years, SOUTHWINDS magazine has
posted the race schedule/calendar on its Web site for all
racing in the central west Florida area from just north of
Tampa Bay south to Marco Island. The calendar includes
all scheduled races of the West Florida PHRF organization
(www.westfloridaphrf.org), plus club races in the
area and any others that boaters in the area would like
to post. The schedule is from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31
each year.
Contact editor@southwindsmagazine.com to list
your race, although all yacht clubs that are part of the
West Florida PHRF will already be included, although
regular local club races must be sent to us separately. We
do not have space to list all the club race dates, but we
will list any club race that is regularly scheduled (for
example: every Thursday evening at 6 p.m.) plus the
contact to enter the race. We do not list races that are not
open to the general public and that are limited to club
members only. (We list club races that require a club
membership or US SAILING membership.) We will list
any other races, even if not sanctioned by a PHRF organization.
Contact the editor with those races.
We ask that you not just send us a link (we will not
accept them), but send the following information: The
regatta/race name, type of racing (PHRF, one-design
and type boat, or ), race location, dates, sponsoring
organization (club, sailing association, etc.), e-mail
and/or phone contact and Web site (if applicable).
The race calendar can be accessed through the racing
