TED FERRARONE AND MEREDITH KILLION WIN INTERCLUB NATIONALS
The top ten finishers-all powered by North Sails
The weather is starting to warm up in the Northeast United States, and that means it’s time to pack up the boat for the summer! Sounds a bit strange, right? But for diehard Frostbiters, especially Interclub sailors, spring’s arrival and the penultimate event, Interclub Nationals, mark a close to the winter sailing season. This year 27 teams made their way to picturesque Cottage Park Yacht Club in Winthrop MA, for the 2017 edition of the event. Ten races were completed in the waters just north of the Logan Airport runway in shifty, nearly perfect spring breeze.
Ted Ferrarone and Meredith Killion found the secret formula for success; consistency. Team Ferrarone-Killion compiled a scorecard with a single race win and no finish worse than sixth. Their 37 overall points were enough to best Steve Benjamin and Daley Brooks by 19 points to secure the championship.
North Sails is honored to sponsor and support the 2017 edition, and we are proud to celebrate our clients’ successes with ten spots overall. The products of choice were the North RadIC or RadIC 12+ mainsail. Next fall will come fast. Contact our Interclub experts for more information on our Interclub sails and ways to prepare for the next frostbiting season!
Rightfully known as “the champions among us,” the North Sails One Design roster is a remarkable collection of world-class sailmakers. It was Gillard’s single-minded pursuit of excellence that caught the attention of Paul Hobson, the head of the One Design squad at North Sails.
