One last dance in Long Beach to cap the 61st Congr One last dance in Long Beach to cap the 61st Congressional Cup. The soon-to-be Olympic waters off Long Beach delivered five days of one-versus-one showdowns in evenly matched Catalina 37s. Sunday saw comeback king Cole Tapper take down #1 world ranked Chris Poole in the semi-finals then a decisive 3-0 victory in the finals besting the defending champion Eric Monnin. The rest took to the starting line for a memorial fleet race in honor of the late Dave Hood. Just as the Green Jacket defines the Masters, the Crimson Blazer defines the Congressional Cup - awarded each year to the winner. Congratulations to Cole Tapper, the first Australian skipper to earn the blazer in over twenty years. California’s Long Beach Yacht Club pulled out all the stops and rallied over 300 volunteers to make this event as professional, fun, and memorable as ever - a cherished stop on the World Match Racing Tour for those lucky enough to receive an invitation. 📸 @ianroman
