BRIAN PORTER & THE FULL THROTTLE TEAM WIN US WINTER SERIES

Brian Porter and his Melges 24 Team of Andy Burdick, brother John Porter and Dave Navin won the 3 Regatta Melges 24 Winter Series for 2003. This is the 6th time this team has won this exciting series.

Brian's Melges 24 Full Throttle won the Jacksonville, Florida regatta in mid November. Then the team placed a close 2nd at the Midwinters in Key West. This past weekend the team placed 5th overall at the Miami's SORC Melges 24 Championship.

"Our team is excited about the World Championship in San Francisco this Fall. We are gearing our sailing toward this event. With some time on the water we feel that we can contend for a World Championship", says Brian Porter.

Brian is this years winner. His Melges 24 record includes the National Championship, Gold Cup Championship, Midwinter Championship and several other regional titles. Brian has been racing the Melges 24 since day one.
