Champagne conditions on Lake Virginia for the 2024 Florida Trophy. Races started on time at 10:00am and lasted through the afternoon. Two sets of three races were completed for each division. A Division sailed their first set in SW 4-8kts before the remaining races were sailing in a W wind with velocity 9-13kts. Classic LVA conditions with large breeze disparities in both velocity and angle. The Scenic Boat Tours were running all day throwing around some wake on each course, challenging sailors to work through an extra wrinkle of adversity. No protests or breakdowns were filed as sailors exonerated themselves appropriately.
Congratulations to the Jacksonville Fins for their back-to-back Florida Trophy titles. The podium was rounded out by the Tars and Jacksonville’s ‘Dolphin’ team for 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Special thanks to KA Hamner ’26, Maggie Burnham ’26, and Julia Scott ’27 for supporting the event as RC.
