Marblehead, MA (September 28, 2014) – The final day of the 2014 U.S. Team Racing Championship ended up being a half day of sailing due to a complete shutdown of the wind. However, the fleet completed enough races to count Gold Round Robin 3 and crown Ladies and Gentlemen as the back-to-back Team Racing Champions.
The championship team which includes Tyler Sinks (San Diego, Calif.), Lucy Wallace (Middletown, R.I.), Justin Law (Balboa, Calif.), Adrienne Patterson (Miami, Fla.), Michael Menninger (San Francisco, Calif.) and Ben Lezin (Santa Cruz, Calif.) will qualify for the 2015 ISAF Team Racing World Championship being held at the Rutland Sailing Club in Great Britain on July 19-24.
