Bruce Mahoney took the crown of the 2015 Ronstan Midwinters held at Key Largo, FL. Woody Cope, with a floating C board Nikita, lead the first day with 3 bullets was second and Bob Hodges climbed to third overall.
Another great regatta for Woody on a non foiling design.

The attitude and comradeship in the US fleet is to admire, floating, foiling, latest tech and lots of custom builts racing and enjoying together beyond any other consideration.
Having Woody Cope leading with 3 bullets out of 3 races with a full floating Nikita it's even a better scenario.

German Assoc: Heinz Müller goes 90
February 02 is Heinz Muller birthday. Great to see how many years you can have sailing the As, all my admiration and greetings to his 40yrs A-Cats calendars. Sent by Georg Reutter.

"German A-Class Associaton Member Heinz Müller becomes 90 Years old. After sailing the A-Class more than 40 Years, he is still keen to get back on the water in spring.
On his home Lake near Biblis, he is still the man to beat on a his catamaran. The legend of his small "camping vehicle" in the size of a french car lives on.
