Argo to the fore

Sunday December 2nd 2012, Author: Joy Dunigan, Location: United States

The final day of the 2012 Melges 32 Gold Cup, hosted by the Lauderdale Yacht Club was nothing short of spectacular.

Big breeze conditions and moderate-to-monster wave action gave Jason Carroll and his Argo Team comprised of tactician Cameron Appleton and crew members Scott Norris, Anthony Kotoun, Mark Towill, Erik Aakhus, Lindsay Bartel and Peter Crawford their very first Gold Cup victory.

Roberto Tomasini Grinover on Robertissima 1, with Vasco Vascotto on tactics fell to finish second overall after leading the event for two days. Andrea Pozzi's Bombarda with tactician Lorenzo Bressani finished third overall.

In the final two races on Sunday, Joel Ronning on Catapult won the first heat, while Alex Jackson on Leenabarca took top honours in the race two of the day.
