Local Melges 24 racer Guy Mossman, slipped a little on Sunday in San Fransisco Bay, taking a 9, 12 and 13 to finish the regatta. Overall he placed 9th (out of 21) against excellent competition. Finishing 9th in a US Nationals Championship is a great result. Congratulations to Guy.

In the only race on Sunday, Ned Goss and Seth Siegler on Hull 626 finished 3rd to move up to 8th overall (out of 45) in the regatta.
Guy Mossman on brand new Hull 786 finished 4th to move up to 4th overall.
David and Russ O’Reilly finished 6th to remain 2nd overall in the regatta. The O’Reilly’s performance is very impressive as they are competing in first big Melges 24 regatta since entering the fleet as owners this winter.
The entire Charleston fleet held their own against some of the biggest names in sailing, including Dave Ullman, Scott Nixon and Terry Hutchinson. Perpetual front runners Alan Field, Paul Hulsey and Argyle Campbell were also competing. 2008 Olympic 470 U.S. representative Stu McNay finished 10th, behind the top 3 Charleston boats.
See the full results here.
Steve Kopf and Chris Hamilton also participated in the regatta. No word yet on why they didn’t compete in the last race.

They waited all day for the breeze to fill. When it finally filled, they picked the right side of the course and rocketed to the front of a very talented fleet. O’Rielly beat World Champion Dave Ullman and America’s Cup Tacitician Terry Hutchinson and everyone else in the first and only race of the day. Crewing for David are Russ O’Rielly, John Putnam, Emily Pulos and Nick Turney.
Guy Mossman also had a stellar showing, finishing 4th in his brand new yacht! (Hull 786). Anyone know who’s crewing for Guy?
Four out of the 5 Charleston entries finished the race in the top 19 out of the 45 boats registered.
Here’s a picture of O’Rielly practicing in January in Charleston Harbor during the CORA / Pinnacle Racing series

BlockSail pulled the last 4 boats from the water today. Many of the boats are heading to the North Americans in Annapolis, MD in late October. If you need any help with transport, housing or boat prep, please consider Sail22.com. Ed Furry and Becky DaMore have a great reputation.
Sail22, LLC is a company geared toward working with boat owners to coordinate all of their regatta needs. As the premiere sailing team concierge service, they strive to make the regatta experience as enjoyable as possible for owners and their crew.
Becky raced the Nationals with Simon Strauss on Simplicity, the 3rd Overall boat. They we’re smokin’ fast.
Given Sail22 a call, then go running to loose weight for the NAs.

The crew in Annapolis is planning an awesome North American Championship in late October / early November.
Forty (40) boats at the Nationals haven’t signed up for the NAs yet. Encourage your fellow competitors to attend. With the 29 boats already signed up for the NAs, Annapolis could break records for attendence and great parties.
