Juggled standings on middle day put Rossi Milev's Angel of Harlem in front
Rossi Milev's Angel of Harlem leapt from third place to first after another three races went in the books at the J/24 Midwinter Championship. With a 3,1,1 on Saturday, Milev drops a seven in the opening race and now totals 16 net points. Also moving up in the standings was John Mollicone with Tim Healy on Blind Squirrel, who notched a 1,2,3 for 19 net points and second place.
Carter White's Sea Bags Sailing Team dropped to third place but is still in the mix, just two points behind Blind Squirrel. Hosted by the Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, Florida, 25 teams from across the United States, Canada and even Japan vied in winds between 6-8 knots with some higher puffs. Seven races have now been completed.
Mollicone began the day with a victory, ahead of White and Milev. Milev secured only bullets for the remaining two contests. Behind him in race six were Mollicone and Christopher Stone's Velocidad. Mike Ingham grabbed the silver spot in the final duel with Mollicone in third.
