A colder than average Acura Key West Race Week did not slow down teams from Larchmont YC in 2009. Jason Carroll’s Melges 32 Argo, with Larchmont members John and Molly Baxter, Chad Corning and Dan Litchfield aboard, finished 7 of their 10 races in the top quarter of the competitive, international 20-boat fleet to place third overall in the Melges 32 class, one point out of second place. Carroll and crew finished third overall in fleet on both Tuesday and Thursday and first overall in fleet on Friday, thanks to a second and a third on the final day to clinch the podium finish.

Son Ryan Zupon drove Juggernaut to two top three finishes in the 10 races, finishing third overall in fleet on Thursday and seventh overall in class for the week, one point out of fifth place. John McAndrews and Larchmont YC Sailing Director Lincoln White rounded out the crew.

Additionally, LYC sailors Ed Briganti and Carrie Landis competed on

the new D/K 46 First Light in IRC 2, finishing 8th out of 13.
