VX ONE Winter Series at Sarasota Sailing Squadron - Weekend 1

by Christopher E. Howell 23 Nov 2014 20:08 GMT 22-23 November 2014

Michael Norris and family earn first weekend victory at VX ONE Winter Series

It was a family affair at the top of the leaderboard for the opening weekend of the VX One Winter Series. Michael, Christina, Robert and Phillip Norris bested 21 other teams at Sarasota Sailing Squadron to take the advantage in the three-weekend series, which continues through March 2015. The family team on Flash Rider notched 19 points in the eight races, with a line of 3,2,2,(7),2,2,4,4. Despite five bullets, Jeff Jones' Animal had to settle for second place with 21 points. Sam and Josh Padnos were just one point back in third with 22 points. The Padnos team claimed the remaining three bullets over the weekend. The conditions challenged and excited competitors during the three-day event, with winds consistently in the mid-teens and above, keeping teams on the edge downwind between blazing speeds and losing control. The building breeze culminated on Sunday with gusts into the high 20s when racing was ended for the day.

The Winter Series continues on January 30-February 1, 2015 (Midwinter Championship) and March 20-22, 2015 at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. Visit www.vxonemw.com for complete results and series information, and the VX One Class Facebook page for photos and video.
