Congratulations to John for winning the Star Masters. Dane was the only competitor to finish all six races with single digits.

SZABO/MONROE WIN STAR NAs
George Szabo and Eric Monroe won a tie-breaker with Rick Merriman and Rick
Peters - and with it the Star North American Championship at the California
YC in Marina Del Rey. Four days earlier, Szabo was not a happy camper when
he found out at the weather mark of the first race that his terrific start
was just a bit too terrific. He was waved off the course with an OCS. After
thinking about it for more than two hours he came back and won the second
race of the day, but was never a serious player until the discard kicked-in
after five races.

The Szabo/Monroe team had a three point lead going into the last race and
they needed it all when Merriman/Peters finished third (for the fourth time
in the six race series) -- three places ahead of Szabo/Monroe. However,
Szabo's two bullets decided the tie-breaker and gave him his second Silver
Star championship.

John Dane III sailing with Austin Sperry was the only competitor in the
41-boat fleet to finish all six races in single digits. He finished third
in the fleet, just three points behind the leaders, and ran away with the
Masters title in a regatta that was sailed in 7-15 knots of wind, lots of
white caps and generally only subtle wind shifts. -- Complete results:
