Sarah Newberry (Miami, Fla.) and Kenny Pierce
(Hialeah, Fla.) ended a perfect week by finishing first in Sunday’s only race.
The duo claimed victory in the 2012 U.S. Multihull Championship, hosted by the
Pensacola Beach Yacht Club, with 14 wins in 14 races. Not only were they
undefeated, but Newberry made history by becoming the first female skipper to
claim the U.S. Multihull Championship for the Hobie Alter Trophy, a US Sailing
National Championship.
'I’m so pleased and so honored,' said
Newberry, who was sailing in her fifth U.S. Multihull Championship, all as a
skipper. 'It was great to sail with Kenny this week, who’s such a great sailor,
and has been a hero of mine.' Newberry and Pierce are members of the Miami Yacht
Club. Pierce is the 2006 Nacra 20 National Champion.
Newberry and Pierce
won by a 23-point margin over Sandra Tartaglino (Tiverton, R.I.) and crew Glenn
Holmes (Pensacola, Fla.). Finishing third was Eric Witte (Fairfield, Conn.) and
Tyler Holmes (Panama City, Fla.).
