Team Zing, representing the Youngstown Yacht Club, is in third place overall after two of three legs of the IC37 Winter Series Lauderdale Cup sailboat race in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The crew, which includes Batavia High School junior Charlie Kegler in the jack-of-all-trades “floater” position, competed earlier this month and did very well – placing first after day one and second after the second and final day.
When combined with results from the first leg last November, the team is third out of seven crews who will meet once again on March 18-20 off the coast of the southern Florida city.
Kegler’s father, Charles, said Team Zing missed out by a mere one second from taking the top spot on the second leg.
