One of the fun new innovations at last week's North American Championship was the introduction of the Pusser's Painkiller Wipeout Award. Sponsored by Pusser's Rum these awards were giving to the four teams that achieved the most spectacular wipeouts during the four day regatta.

At the end of four days of racing and with a total of eleven races sailed in the widest possible range of conditions, Terry Hutchinson and his crew aboard USA 751 Quantum Racing, are the new at the 2008 Melges 24 North American Champions.
