- Convexity defends M32 World Championship title
The M32 World Championships came to an exciting close on Sunday as Convexity smashed the competition with three races to spare on the warm waters of Miami, Florida.
Despite Convexity’s regularity at the top of the podium in the last year, there were some doubts going into this most recent competition. Helm Don Wilson erased those doubts with his commanding win this week.
“We just focused on constantly getting better and finding little ways of getting the boat faster.” he said.
Team Catapult, driven this week by Anthony Kotoun, finished second. Catapult is usually driven by Joel Ronning, but the rest of the team stepped up to fill his absence this week.
The comeback story of the regatta was Inga From Sweden.
Richard Goransson’s team consistently chipped away over the course of the regatta, gaining places every day to finish third overall.
