Julio Reguero Awarded the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Trophy
 |
| Julio Reguero (PR) wins the overall C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Trophy for the best overall performance by a sailor in the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta | When the competitors left the dock for the third and final day of racing at the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta, they did so in a beautiful crisp 12 knot northerly that unfortunately died off over the course of the morning. While the total absence of breeze ultimately forced the last races to be abandoned for the SKUD-18 and J/22 classes, all the competing fleets (2.4 Metre, Sonar, SKUD-18 and J/22s) sailed a ten-race series, except for the J/22s who sailed 11, and the day ended with the standings unchanged as the fleet leaders prevailed to claim the top prizes. Over the 10-race series in the 2.4 Metres, 2008 Paralympian Julio Reguero (Guyanbo, Puerto Rico) placed first in six. He added finishes of 1-1-2 today, dropped his worst score – a DNF – to win that class with 12 points. In addition, Requero was awarded the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Trophy for the best overall performance by a sailor in the regatta. Charles Rosenfield (Woodstock, Conn.) finished 2-2-1, to retain second place in the fleet with 14 points, and Timothy Ripley (Randolph, N.J.) took third on 28 points.
Racing in Sail Newport’s fleet of J/22s, 2008 Blind Sailing National Champions Sengil Inkiala (Waltham, Mass.), Nancy Jodoin (Newton, Mass.) and Ken Legler (Reading, Mass.), with Naomi Shwom (Sharon, Mass.), added two more bullets to their scoreline to successfully defend their title.

Puerto Rican Julio Riguero leads his class at the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta
 |
| 2008 Paralympian Julio Reguero (PUR) is the standings leader in the 2.4 Metre fleet at the 2009 Clagett Regatta. | The first of three days of racing in the seventh annual C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Regatta, took place yesterday out of Sail Newport, Rhode Island's public sailing center and saw all four fleets of sailors with disabilities complete four races on Narragansett Bay. Race one was sailed in a dying northerly that faded out and switched direction, forcing several classes to abandon their second race and wait for the wind to settle. Although the southerly breeze managed to fill by 13:00, it never got above eight knots over the rest of the afternoon. Julio Reguero, who represented Puerto Rico at the 2008 Paralympic Games, won three of four races in the 2.4 Metre class, and leads the overall standings with five points. Charles Rosenfield (Woodstock, Conn.), posting scores of 2-2-1-2, is second overall with seven points, with Timothy Ripley (Randolph, N.J.) in third on 12 points. Julio is well known on the northern Caribbean sailing circuit as he races many of the major regattas in his J105, Umakua.
