Sailed at Coral Reef Yacht Club, Miami.
Report by Connie Bischoff: Six skippers were 70 years or older led by Harry Walker at 87 and 92 year old Emil Karlovsky. Harry and crew Mark Reynolds thrilled the spectator fleet when they finished 11th in Race 2. Harry won the top Exalted Grand Master award and finished 18th overall. There were six teams were made up of father and son and this competition was won by John Dane III and his son John F. Dane. Saturday had two races with wind coming from the south at 10-12 knots ending before the approach of a level 5 thunderstorm. John Dane III won Race 1 and Augie Diaz won Race 2. Augie also won Race 3 on Sunday with 14 knot winds from the NE building to 20 with gusts. It was a pre-Olympic moment during Race 2 when the US Olympic team of Dane and Sperry challenged each other at the finish line with Austin Sperry, sailing for his dad Brook, finishing 9th ahead of John Dane III and his son John. This regatta is another lead up to the Star Worlds coming to Miami in April. Many of the Star World competitors who are already in Miami were either skippering, serving as crew or loaning their boats to the competitors for the ZAG Masters. The regatta was named after Frank Zagarino, one of Coral Reef’s most successful Star sailors. The Star ZAG Masters just proves the long popularity of the Star class. Pictures from the event are available at www.teamparadise.org. Proceeds will benefit the Zagarino Memorial Fund which supports youth sailing. |
