Cool, windy Midwinters spells
Gold for Peter and Alex Rahn!

The Montreal father/son duo of Peter and Alex Rahn (above) captured the 2010 Wayfarer Midwinter championship with a perfect three firsts in cool, breezy weather Feb. 5-7 at the Lake Eustis SC. Rounding out the top three were a pair of North Carolina husband/wife teams: Jim Heffernan with Linda, and Richard Johnson with Michele. Capturing top spot among non-spinnaker boats were LESC's Ted Benedict with Ottawa's Andy Douma as crew. This team as tied for Most Improved honours with Richard Watterson of Hershey, PA with his Houston, TX crew, Doug Terrier, and the LESC crew of Mike Murto and Izak Kielmovitch. Defending champs, Uncle Al (Oakville, ON) and Nick Seraphinoff (Detroit, MI) fell to series 7th when Al's bare feet got too painfully cold on Sunday morning and Nick and Al sat out the final pair of races. Results, report and all pics are now posted.  Pic captions still to come.
