ST PETE NOOD REGATTA - RESULTS

Juan Mauri and crew won St. Pete NOOD and the Hobie 33 Midwinters. Winds range from 16 gusting 18 knots on Saturday and 6 to 8 on Sunday giving competitors a wide range of conditions to perform. Even though the chill factor was in the upper 30's the fleet was able to keep the warm, friendly atmosphere that characterizes all Hobie 33 One Design Regattas.

Winning crew: Juan Mauri, Rod Favela, Dave Bouschor, Johnthan McMillian, Duane Coker and Rob Neal (a.k.a. Fish Fry)

Christian Schaumloffel - Mirage was second and Scott Maust - Thunderbolt was third.
