The College of Charleston used a strong finish to win the ICSA North American Sloop Championship held this past weekend at the New York Yacht Club. The Cougars used a second-place finish in the last race to come from behind to take the win away from Hobart. The four-man team included FBYC Coach Blake Kimbrough. If you think it's cold and rough in Deltaville, try Newport on Day Two with gusts over 22 knots: Four races were sailed with the last two non-spinnaker due to three ripped spinnakers, two torn mainsails, two broaches including a great death roll by Navy, and full-planing, hold-on for dear life conditions at times downwind.
