After two days of the coaching clinic and three days of competition, the sailors racing at the 20^th Anniversary C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta have congratulated their fellow sailors, including several Canadians, as they received the silverware in recognition of their results.

Thirty-two sailors from across North America and the Caribbean, representing 10 states and territories and three Canadian provinces, have participated in the 20^th Anniversary C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta which started with five boats in 2003. 

It has evolved into a multifaceted organization providing opportunities and programs for sailors with disabilities enabling sailors to each for Success while they Learn-Race-Win, Learn-to Reach for Success, Race-in the Corinthian spirit, Win-self-empowerment. 

In the twenty boat 2.4mR class it has been led from start to finish by Julio Reguero (San Juan, Puerto Rico) whose scorecard had four first places in the 10 races the fleet completed. Reguero, a Paralympian who sailed in the 2008 and 2012 games, is also a recipient of the 2.4mR boat he is sailing from the Clagett Boat Grant Program.

As a result of his win in the 2.4mR class, Reguero has qualified for a place on Team Clagett. The inaugural team will represent Clagett Sailing at the 2.4mR World Championships in Tampa, Florida in November.     

Finishing in second place in the 2.4mR class is Tony Pocklington (Ft. Meyers, FL) and rounding out the podium is Canadian Peter Wood who has traveled from Ottawa to attend numerous Clagett Regattas in Newport.

Reguero said after he was awarded the trophy for the 2.4mR class, “I feel very happy with my results from the racing this week. I’m looking forward to the Clagett/Oakcliff Match Racing Clinic and Regatta in September and learning match racing skills. I’m very proud to be selected and part of Team Clagett who will be at the 2.4mR Worlds in Tampa Florida later this year.”

Reguero was also awarded the C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Trophy which is the third time he has won this trophy. He has won it in the 2.4mR class at each event in 2009, 2016 and now in 2022. 

The Martin 16 class win went to the defending trophy holder Californian Carwile LeRoy, who was sailing with Tannis Hall from Mont Tremblant Canada for the last three days. LeRoy won this class in 2019 and 2021 and now for a hat trick. LeRoy’s result was a single digit as a result of his multiple first places across the finish line over the last three days of racing.

Joining Reguero on Team Clagett will be his fellow 2.4mR sailors Charlie Rosenfield (Woodstock, CT), Peter Eager (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) Delani Hulme-Lawrence (Saint Paul, Alberta, Canada), and the alternate team member is Chris Childers. Team Clagett consists of the top three scoring 2.4 mR competitors with a disability, plus the next highest scoring 2.4mR Clagett Boat Grant Program recipient competitor and an alternate member is named. The team will be managed by Clagett alumni sailor Brad Johnson himself a Paralympian in multiple sports.
