Congratulations to John Hoskins and Sheldon Dummer
Congratulations to John Hoskins, and Sheldon Dummer for their fantastic finishes in the 2007 Singlehanded Mac!
John sailed Madcap up the Wisconsin side of the lake, going outside of the Manitous, and inside the Fox Islands, to take advantage of forecast wind shifts. The strategy paid off. John finished in 54:37:37 corrected, first in section by more than seven hours. His corrected time was also the best in the fleet for monohulls. This is the third time John has won the Singlehanded Mac!! (2005 Fleet, 2006 section, 2007 section and fleet monohulls)
Shel, aboard Celerity, finished in 58:59:37 corrected for second in section, and 5th overall. Fantastic finish for his first Singlehanded Mac. Shel is going to do it again in less than two weeks - but this time with friends. Celerity, along with two other Anchorage boats - American Dream and Viper, is entered in the "normal" Chicago-Mac.
