A-Cat Midwinters 2023: Titles for Mahoney & Webbon
No racing today Friday at Key Largo due to no winds. Seven races were completed the first two days in foiling and light wind conditions, thus a good regatta in the end. Results stay put as reported for Day 2.
Bruce Mahoney won the Open fleet, followed by Bailey White and A-Cat rookie Francisco Venetucci. The Argie on his second regatta ever managed to step on the podium. He will be looking for more regattas abroad next season to continue learning & improving.
In the Classics fleet Bob Webbon took first place, Ken Marshack second and Chris Batchelor 3rd.
