Feb 26,2021 – Port Charlotte FL
Cream rises to the top. Talent will eventually reveal itself. Bruce Millar, a Canadian Paralympics sailor has been working with Edge Sailing on a new jib boom and jib configuration. This month it seemed to hit a new level. Bruce took his modified 2.4 meter with a jib boom out and won the Edge Midwinters. His scoreline was impressive, he threw out a second place finish.
The event had a range of conditions from light and lumpy to flat and gusty. The jib boom performed well in all conditions allowing “no touch” tacks and lightning fast jibes.
Tony Pocklington and John Seepe rounded out the podium. The fleet of 7 boats sailed 8 races of the two days of the event.
