USA's reigning Yngling World Champions Sally Barkow (Nashotah, WI), Carrie Howe (Grosse Pointe, MI) and Deborah Capozzi (Bayport, NY) also earned the right to skip the medal race, but they chose to compete instead. With nine victories in 12 races, the trio won their Medal Race for good measure, proving why they are the most formidable team on the international Yngling circuit.

"We were on it tactically all week," said Barkow, recently named US SAILING's Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year. "Our team has been in the boat the longest, which is not to say the competition wasn't tough, but when we make a mistake we try to only make it once."
