Chase Decker at the C420 Mid-Winter Championships

Results

I traveled to Florida this February to compete in my second C420 Mid-Winter Championships in Jensen beach. Over 150 boats were registered for this event. The winds were consistent providing 10-15 knots for all three days of racing. Days 1 and 2 proved strong for me with top finishes on both days of qualifying. I went into the championship day in third place, but unfortunately, I did not put up the races I anticipated and finished 6th overall at the event. Thank you for supporting me and my crew Sophia Pearce at this event.  I look forward to sailing this event again next year.
