PHOTO: Canfield Closes in Chicago

Published on August 12th, 2013

Chicago Match Cup (Chicago, IL – August 6-11) was the fourth stop on the six event World Match Racing Tour 2013, the leading professional sailing series that is sanctioned by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).

Taylor Canfield bounced back from 0-2 to take a last-gasp victory at the Chicago Match Cup today. Representing the US Virgin Islands but also a hometown favourite as race director of the Chicago Match Race Center, the crowd of spectators went silent with tension as Canfield and USone’s Tom 28 keelboat rumbled towards the finish line of the final match, little more than a boatlength ahead of Keith Swinton and Black Swan Racing from Australia.
