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.

At the St. Pete NOODs, 3 Melges 24 owners from Charleston are putting on a show, mixing things up with Dave Ullman, Terry Hutchinson and Alan Field.
David and Russ O’Reilly on “Ardor” head the Charleston pack in second place, behind 2007 World Champion Dave Ullman. The O’Reilly brothers have a very consistent score line: 1-3-6-5-6 over five races.
Ned Goss, Seth Siegler and the crew on “4 SALE BY OWNER” jumped up the leader board with two 4th yesterday. Hull 626 continues to prove she’s ultra fast, now sitting in 10th overall.
Guy Mossman with Bill Hardesty as crew on a brand new boat is 6th overall.
Steve Kopf, Michael Miller and friends are in 13th overall.
The Pinnacle Racing / CORA Melges 24 series in Charleston this winter seems to be paying dividends.

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

“Blur” Cruises to 11th at M24 Nationals in Detriot Sunday, September 23, 2007

On the last day, Steve Kopf’s “Blur” took a 2nd in the first race followed by a 21st. They dropped a 31st from the first day to end the regatta with a total of 83 points. They were just 2 points out of 9th place.
Kopf’s finish is particularly impressive since he’s only been sailing the M24 for a couple years. They beat every boat in the regatta at least once, including 2007 World Champion Dave Ullman.
Sweet.
