U.S. INDEPENDENCE
CUP/NORTH AMERICAN CHALLENGE CUP
Chicago, IL
High winds made for an exciting final day of racing in the
2004 Independence Cup/North American Challenge Cup today (IC/NACC),
following two days of light winds.
In the 2.4mR class, Nick Scandone, of Fountain Valley, Calif.,
held on to his lead from the previous two days’ racing to sail to
victory this afternoon in the singlehanded division with a total
of 10.7 points. Finishing second in the division with 14.7 points
was fellow Californian David Trude, who was competing in his
second U.S. Independence Cup/North American Challenge Cup.
“It is a very good event, I had a great time and hope to do it
again,” said Scandone, who was competing in the IC/NACC for the
first time.
In Freedom Independence 20 class competition, the team of Karen
Mitchell and Kerry Gruson took the championship title for the
second year in a row in the doublehanded division with a total of
9.7 points. The winning pair, who hail from Deerfield Beach,
Fla., and Miami, respectively, beat out Allen Fiske and Joseph
Cook for the title. Fiske and Cook, of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale,
had 13 points.
“We had a rough start, but it all came together in the end,”
Mitchell said. “This event is highlight of our summer; we look
forward to coming to Chicago to compete with great anticipation
all year.” Mitchell is hoping to become the first woman to
represent the USA in sailing in the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.
She is currently ranked as the best disabled skipper in North
America. You can follow her progress on www.sailingforlife.org <http://www.sailingforlife.org/>
. Kerry Gruson has been sailing partners with Mitchell for years
and said, “She is very proud to be her crew.” She believes the
able-bodied assistants (AB’s) did an exceptional job, “we loved
our AB’s,” she exclaimed. “It is an honor for the Chicago Yacht
Club to put on this event for disabled sailors in North America,”
said Roland Rayment, chairman of the IC/NACC Committee of the
Chicago Yacht Club. “I am certainly pleased with the level of
competition we had over the course of the entire weekend.”

2004 MC Nationals
August 19 - 22
Culver, IN
Day 1 - Aug 20
Rain was with us all day. Morning race was abandoned when
wind would not settle long enough to set a good course. After
lunch both rain and wind picked up and we had a good race with
only two course changes as the wind continued to do its thing. By
evening the clouds were clearing and Saturday promises to be a
great day with lots of sunshine and winds 5 - 10 mph.
Day 2 - Aug 21
Bright sunshine greeted us but the winds took a while to
materialize. After an on-shore postponement for about an hour, we
went out. The breeze was light and never settled enough to set a
good course so we stayed under postponement and went in for
lunch. The wind never came back and races were called off for the
day at 4 PM.
A great cocktail party and raffle hosted by Maxinkuckee YC and
Augusta SC concluded the day. Winds are scheduled to be between
10 - 20 tomorrow so the PRO moved the start of the first race
forward by 30 minutes.
Day 3 - Aug 22
The winds came in on forecast and two great races were
completed! Link to final results shown below.
