Livin it up on the first day of Melges 14 Midwinters! Sarasota brought sunny skies & breeze of 8-14. Harry Melges IV leads with three bullets in three races followed by Harry Melges III, Jeff Solum, Eddie Cox and Adam Ankers.
The Melges Team hosted a Melges 14 racing clinic the day before Melges 14 Midwinters began. The clinic started with a chalk talk and video session, then on the water for practice starts, boat handling drills, and practice races. The clinic wrapped up for the day with a video debrief and a Q&A session with the Melges Team.
