Congrats to the 2019 Dragon Gold Cup winners Pedro Andrade, Star class veteran Christian Giannini (and ADA Member) and Joao Vidinha. They had battled several major gear failures during the week, including a broken gooseneck, ripped spinnaker, failed bilge pumps and a broken runner, but in spite of that, they not only won the regatta, but won it by a convincing ten points.

Congrats also to Double Olympic Gold Medalist and Dragon sailing legend Poul Richard Hoj-Jensen, who the Dragon fleet call simply The Man in recognition of his immense contribution to the class, who took victory in the Corinthian Division, or has he calls it the "weekend sailors' class". Crewed by old friends Hamish McKay and Chris Brittain, 75 years young Poul may now class himself as a weekender.

Ray recently bought USA262 and brought her home to Manitou Springs, Colorado where he plans to tidy her up and race on Dillon Reservoir. He first saw Dragons in Ottawa where there is an old woodie serving as the bar. He also plans to do a bit of traveling with her, which might see him racing in Vancouver or Cleveland. We think this is probably the only Dragon in Colorado at the moment.
