Sailors bring home two medals
A team of talented young sailors voyaged to Miami for the 2007 Orange Bowl during the Christmas break to compete against a field of 600 competitors from across the globe.
Bermuda's team of 16 sailors brought home two medals from the competition at Coconut Grove, Miami, after four days of racing. Fifteen countries competed in five different classes of boats.
The two skippers who picked up medals for Bermuda were Sean Bouchard sailing with his crew Cory DeCollibus, who ended up in 9th place overall in the 420 Class, and Kyle Burgess, who finished up 8th in his Blue Fleet age grouping in the Optimist Class.
