A sailing team from Maryland, including representatives from the Annapolis Yacht Club, won the 2019 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship.
ANNAPOLIS, MD — A team of sailors representing the Annapolis Yacht Club and the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association won the 2019 U.S. Adult Sailing Championship for the Mallory Trophy, which was hosted by the Beverly Yacht Club.
More than a dozen teams competed in the four-day event. There were 48 total races including six races in Sunday's stage three final. John Loe of Highland Beach, Md., led the winning team to victory in a closely contested final round. His team included Jake Dyle of Annapolis, Rob Deane of Essex, Md., and Jamie Gilman of Galveston, Texas.
"We were racing for my grandfather this week who is not feeling well. I wasn't sure I was going to make it here. That's who we were racing for and that's why we are here," Loe told Sail-World.
