Winner Mitch Booth (who sails approx 260 days a year in Europe and around the World and a former F18 World Champion)was closely followed by NA teams Greg Thomas, Matt Struble and others who typically sail between 25-30 days a year. I think this was a wonderful showing of our NA F18 teams! Mitch did several clinics during the event to "spread the wealth" of his knowledge. Thanks Mitch! May we see continued growth in the F18 classes in NA!
