2012 Worlds Results, Wrapup & Images
We've been requested for reports on the 2012 Worlds. Record number of inscriptions with 120, but finally a 'reduced' event due to Hurricane Sandy approaching FL at the time, but the organization managed to put together 5 races in the 20-30knot range, making it a valid Championship.
Class 'rookie' Mischa Heemskerk got the title, followed by Andrew Landenberger and the 2011 World Champ, Steve Brewin.
Below a series of links to reports, posts, images and results of a very special Worlds.
