Columbia Wins in Martha's Vineyard!

After the first day of racing at the 2012 Edgartown 12 Meter Regatta in Martha's Vineyard, there was a three way tie for first place.  On day two of racing Columbia sailed away from her competition winning two races and getting second in third race.  Team Columbia's speedy performance on day two made her the winner of the 2012 Edgartown 12 Meter Regatta.  Way to go Team Columbia!  For complete results visit the Edgartown Yacht Club website.
